Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the principle of the proposed residential development in this location is appropriate.
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area, particularly regarding the density of the proposed development.
- Whether the proposal would provide sufficiently towards affordable housing need and other elements of community infrastructure, to address relevant impacts of the residential development.
What decided it
The absence of a five year housing land supply engaged the tilted balance, and the significant benefits of housing and affordable housing delivery were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the limited harms identified.
The significant benefits of housing delivery, affordable housing provision and economic benefits outweighed the conflict with SWDP1 and SWDP2 and the limited, mitigable visual impact, such that the adverse impacts did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits under paragraph 11(d)(ii).
