Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site offers an appropriate location for housing, having regard to the development plan and its strategy for the distribution of new development
- the effect of the proposed development on the local landscape character
- the effect of the proposed development on the social well-being and community cohesion of Alderton
- the proposal's effect on mixed and balanced communities
What decided it
The absence of a 5-year housing land supply and the engagement of the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) of the revised Framework, which outweighed the moderate landscape harm and conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy.
The significant undersupply of housing and the delivery of 28 homes with 40% affordable housing outweighed the moderate harm to local landscape character and the conflict with the spatial strategy of the development plan.
