Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would harm the open countryside by virtue of the location of the site outside the settlement boundary
- whether foul water drainage arising from the proposal can be appropriately dealt with
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites engaged the presumption in favour of sustainable development, and the significant benefit of housing delivery in a location that would not harm the open countryside outweighed the conflict with development plan policies on spatial distribution.
The significant benefit of providing nine dwellings in a location that does not cause harm to or loss of open countryside, combined with the presumption in favour of sustainable development arising from the five-year housing land supply shortfall, outweighed the conflict with development plan policies concerning spatial distribution of housing and development in designated open countryside.
