Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the protected green space, and linked to that, the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether or not it has been demonstrated that the proposal would have an acceptable effect upon highway safety, having regard to pedestrian safety
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites engaged the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d)(ii) of the Framework, and the benefits of housing provision outweighed the limited adverse impacts of loss of protected green space.
The loss of protected green space and conflict with Policy OL4 of the UDP were outweighed by the benefits of housing provision, social and economic benefits, and the fallback position, given the Council's lack of a five-year housing land supply and the absence of significant adverse impacts on character, appearance or highway safety.
