OUTCOME
COMMENTS
WS Planning & Architecture were instructed following the preparation of the Councils Statement of Case and adopted the Councils evidence prior to appearing on behalf of the Local Planning Authority at a Hearing. Prior to the Hearing, WS met with the Council and their Legal team aswell as local councillors and residents to ensure a full understanding of the case. Despite being unable to demonstrate a 5 year housing land supply the Inspector was satisfied that the proposal would result in a significant loss of openness to the Green Belt on the site in spatial terms and some loss of openness in visual terms.
