Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The building already exists with an extant agricultural approval, is surrounded by residential development, is well-screened, and would not cause harm to character and appearance, combined with the local planning authority's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
The benefits of housing delivery and the lack of a five-year housing land supply outweighed the conflict with Policy S7, as the proposal would not cause significant harm to character and appearance and would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
Framework references: 174, 219, 11, 105
Plan policies cited: Policy S7 of the Uttlesford Local Plan 2005
