Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would maintain a sufficient range of dwelling sizes in the countryside having regard to local planning policy

What decided it

The proposed development would maintain the range of dwelling sizes in the countryside and thus achieve the underlying aim of Policy H16 despite breaching its strict terms, which outweighed the policy conflict.

The conflict with the strict terms of Policy H16 was outweighed by the finding that the proposed development would maintain the range of dwelling sizes in the countryside and would not prejudice the policy's aims.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy H16 of the East Hampshire District Local Plan: Second Review of 2006

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
