Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location for a new dwelling having regard to local and national policy
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply, combined with the out-of-date nature of Policy S8 and the limited conflict with the development plan, meant that the benefits of providing an additional dwelling significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited harm.
The benefits of providing an additional dwelling (significant weight) and the economic and social benefits (moderate weight) outweighed the limited conflict with Policy S8 of the development plan when read as a whole, with no adverse impacts identified that would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the NPPF as a whole
Framework references: 11, 80
Plan policies cited: Policy S8 of the Uttlesford Local Plan (2005)
