Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply triggered the tilted balance under paragraph 11 of the Framework, and the moderate benefits of housing delivery outweighed the modest visual harm to character and appearance.

The adverse impacts of the development in terms of character and appearance would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh its benefits when considered against the Framework, with moderate weight attached to housing and economic benefits and only modest weight to the detrimental visual effects.
