SD1: Presumption in Favour of Sustainable Development.
Development that accords with the Local Plan will normally be supported, unless material considerations indicate otherwise.
Where there are no policies specifically relevant to the proposed development or the relevant policies are out-of-date, it will normally be supported, unless material considerations indicate otherwise and/or either of the following apply:
- any adverse impacts arising from the development would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed on national planning policies;
- specific national planning policies indicate that the development should be restricted.
