Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The limited harm to character and appearance, combined with the significant benefit of adding to housing supply in circumstances where the Council cannot demonstrate a five-year supply, meant the adverse impacts did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits under Framework paragraph 11(d).
The very limited harm to character and appearance was outweighed by the significant benefit of a small contribution to housing supply using previously developed land, in circumstances where the Council cannot demonstrate a five-year housing land supply
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EN1 of the Spelthorne Core Strategy and Policies Development Plan Document 2009
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 74
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.
