Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and the settings of designated heritage assets, namely the Bramley Conservation Area and listed buildings within it
  • whether material considerations exist to outweigh any policy conflict arising from the site's location outside of the Settlement Policy Boundary

What decided it

The absence of a five-year housing land supply, combined with the absence of any harm to heritage assets or character and appearance, engaged the tilted balance in favour of the proposal, and the housing benefits outweighed the technical conflict with development plan policies restricting development outside the Settlement Policy Boundary.

The benefits of housing delivery (significant weight), affordable housing contributions, biodiversity net gain, and modest economic benefits were weighed against the purely technical harm of locating development outside the Settlement Policy Boundary and limited conflict with development plan policies; the benefits outweighed the harms, and the proposal constituted sustainable development.
