Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development

What decided it

The site qualifies as limited infilling in a village under NPPF paragraph 149, making the proposed development not inappropriate in the Green Belt and suitable in principle for a single residential dwelling.

The tilted balance was engaged due to the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, but the proposal was supported by local policy and Framework objectives, tipping the balance in favour of allowing the appeal

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy SP1Policy SP2Policy SD10Policy SP6Policy SD5Policy RES2Policy RES5

Paragraph 11Paragraph 149Paragraph 219
