Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposal would provide a suitable level of living accommodation for future occupiers, with particular regard to both internal and external space

What decided it

The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, combined with the moderate weight afforded to the housing contribution, outweighed the moderate harm to character and appearance, triggering the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.

The moderate harm to character and appearance was outweighed by the moderate benefit of contributing to the five-year housing land supply and limited economic benefits, applying the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework
