Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the Council can demonstrate a five year supply of deliverable housing land
  • whether or not the proposed development is in a suitable location, in light of local and national policies for housing
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect of the proposal on the drainage system, with regard to foul and surface water

What decided it

The Council's inability to demonstrate a five year housing land supply triggered the tilted balance, under which the identified moderate harms did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery.

moderate harm from conflict with locational policies and character/appearance, limited harm from absent affordable housing/leisure/biodiversity contributions, and very limited harm from conflict with the emerging plan were outweighed by the significant benefit of housing delivery and moderate economic benefits, so the tilted balance favoured granting permission
