Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the site is a suitable location for market housing having regard to local and national planning policy
  • the planning balance, having regard to housing provision

What decided it

The Council's significant shortfall in five-year housing land supply (2.2 years) engaged the tilted balance, and the benefits of housing delivery in an area of established undersupply outweighed the conflict with the emerging local plan's spatial strategy and the Framework's sustainability objectives.

The conflict with the emerging local plan spatial strategy and the Framework's environmental objective (directing housing to sustainable locations) was outweighed by the benefits of housing delivery in an area of significant undersupply and the site's location within an established settlement, in the context of a notably deficient five-year housing land supply.
