Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The main issue in this appeal is the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area.

What decided it

The tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework, triggered by the Council's inability to demonstrate a five year housing land supply, meant that the moderate landscape harm did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery.

the significant weight given to housing delivery and affordable housing, together with moderate weight for economic benefits, outweighed the moderate harm to character and appearance, so the adverse impacts did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits
