Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to location, land use and amount of development proposed, with particular regard to the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including with regard to its landscape setting
- the principle of new housing at Gretton, having regard to the development strategy for the area
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply engaged the tilted balance under Framework paragraph 11(d)(ii), and the moderate benefits of housing delivery were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the moderate harm of policy conflict.
The moderate benefits of housing supply and community vitality were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the moderate harm of conflict with the development plan, when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
