Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
- The effect of the proposed development on the special interest of nearby heritage assets.
- The planning balance, including policy considerations, and the benefits of the scheme (including housing land supply).
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five year housing land supply, triggering the tilted balance, combined with the significant weight given to the delivery of market and affordable housing, tipped the balance in favour of allowing the appeal despite identified landscape and heritage harm.
the significant benefits of delivering 85 homes including affordable housing, together with moderate and limited weight social, economic and environmental benefits, outweighed the moderate-minor landscape/visual harm and the less than substantial harm to heritage assets, such that adverse impacts did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits under the tilted balance
