Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the landscape character of the area
  • The suitability of the site as a location for housing

What decided it

The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, which engages the tilted balance under Framework paragraph 11, combined with the significant social benefit of delivering housing that outweighs the modest and localised landscape harm identified.

The significant benefit of delivering a family-sized dwelling to boost housing supply, with limited economic benefits, outweighed the modest and localised harm to landscape character and the limited weight afforded to the conflict with the locational strategy of the development plan, resulting in a presumption in favour of granting permission under the tilted balance
