Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- possible implications for local character and appearance, and including the scheme's relationship to the settlement boundary
- possible implications for the significance of local heritage assets
- development of agricultural land
- the possible need for further public open space
What decided it
Compliance with Policy DSP40, which addresses housing delivery in the absence of a 5YHLS, offset the conflicts with other more restrictive policies and rendered the proposal in accordance with the development plan as a whole.
The considerable public benefits, including significant market and affordable housing delivery, were found to outweigh the collective but limited harm to heritage significance and the limited harm to character and appearance, agricultural land, in the context of the development plan as a whole being satisfied via Policy DSP40.
