On 5 July 2024, the Planning Inspectorate allowed LVA's appeal against Somerset Council's refusal of an outline planning application for up to 37 dwellings at Walton, Somerset.
The decision, which thereby grants planning permission, considered that the benefits of the scheme were accorded significant weight, chief amongst them the provision of housing and affordable housing in light of a five-year housing land supply shortfall. Overall, it was concluded that the adverse impacts of granting permission would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.
