Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in an appropriate location for new housing
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal constitutes appropriate infill development in a rural location that would support nearby services without harm to character, appearance or highway safety, and accords with the development plan taken as a whole.
The tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework would add substantial weight in support of the development due to the shortfall in housing land supply, but the appeal was allowed on the basis that no harm was identified on the main issues rather than by application of the tilted balance.
Framework references: 79, 80, 11, 130, 110, 111
