Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The principle of proposed development, with specific regard to its location outside the settlement limits
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply engaged the presumption in favour of sustainable development under NPPF paragraph 11, which tipped the balance in favour of the proposal despite its conflict with settlement boundary policies.
The modest benefits of housing delivery and the absence of harm to character and appearance were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of development outside the settlement boundary, in the context of the lack of a five-year housing land supply and the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11
