Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the location of the proposed development is suitable, with particular reference to the spatial strategy for the area and reliance on the private car
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposed development would make adequate provision for local infrastructure, highway safety, affordable housing and future on site future maintenance arrangements

What decided it

The tilted balance under paragraph 11 of the Framework was engaged due to the housing land supply shortfall, and the moderate adverse impacts did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the substantial benefits.

the moderate harm to locational suitability and to character and appearance, and the resultant moderate-weight conflict with the development plan as a whole, did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the substantial combination of benefits (housing delivery, affordable housing, green infrastructure, socio-economic benefits), so the presumption in favour of sustainable development was engaged and permission was granted
