Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site would be a suitable location for housing having regard to local planning policies and accessibility
- if harm arises, whether this is outweighed by other material considerations
What decided it
The appeal site constitutes infill development within the existing built area of Corston village and therefore accords with Core Policy 2 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy, which permits such development at small villages.
No balancing exercise was required as the proposal accords with the development plan and no conflict with important policies was identified; the five-year housing land supply shortfall did not alter the outcome.
Framework references: 79, 80, 105, 54, 11
