10. Reason for Approval The proposed development of housing at Grey Towers is considered to be appropriate for both the application site itself and within the surrounding area, in that the proposal is in accordance with national and local planning policy. The relevant policies and guidance is contained within the following documents: - National Planning Policy Framework 2012 - Middlesbrough Local Development Framework (LDF) - Core Strategy (2008); Regeneration DPD and Proposal Map (2009) - Middlesbrough Housing Local Plan, Housing Core Strategy and Housing Development Plan Document (2014). In particular, the proposal meets the national planning policy framework and guidance, in that the proposal is for a housing development that would not be out of scale and character within the surrounding area, and would not be detrimental to the local and residential amenities of the area. Issues of principle regarding development on an allocated site, the layout and design of the housing scheme and the generation of traffic, have been considered fully, including those set out in the representations made by nearby residents, and are not considered, on balance, to give rise to any inappropriate or undue affects. Accordingly, the Local Planning Authority considers that there are no material planning considerations that would override the general assumption that development be approved unless other material factors determine otherwise.
