Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would conflict with the area's adopted strategy for the location of new housing
Its effect on the character and appearance of the area, including in terms of the 'Strategic Gap'
Its effect on best and most versatile agricultural land

What decided it

Under the tilted balance applied because the Council could not demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, the identified harms did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the considerable benefits of housing delivery.

The considerable benefits of delivering housing in an accessible location outweighed the significant harm to character and appearance/Strategic Gap and the more limited weight given to conflict with the housing location strategy and loss of best and most versatile agricultural land.
