Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for residential development
What decided it
The proposal accords with the development plan taken as a whole and provides significant benefits including housing delivery, use of previously developed land, and removal of agricultural activities from the village centre, with no adverse impacts that would significantly and demonstrably outweigh these benefits.
The significant benefits of the proposal, including housing delivery, use of previously developed land, removal of agricultural and haulage activities from the village centre, provision of affordable and self-build housing, and compliance with the development plan, outweighed the unsubstantiated local objections regarding traffic, design, infrastructure and amenity.
