local service provision (CS1)
“should take into account levels of local service provision”
A bungalow in the side curtilage of an existing bungalow, inside the settlement boundary of Westwoodside, was allowed. The inspector found no harm to character or to living conditions. The inspector then applied S4: the only S4(2) circumstance in play was L2(1)(d) on residential curtilages, the scheme met it, and so the proposal "should therefore be approved". A local-needs restriction in Core Strategy Policy CS2 was given very little weight as more restrictive than the Framework.
CS1 rural-settlement criterion; site within development limit; incidental. In the register this counts as a descriptive mention that played no part in the reasoning.
