Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the development has a prospect of being delivered within the next five years
- whether the site represents an appropriate location for the proposed dwellings
What decided it
The benefits of delivering a sustainably located smaller housing site, including affordable housing and short-term deliverability outside the nutrient neutrality catchment, were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the limited harm to character and appearance, engaging the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
the limited environmental harm from conflict with Policy DM4.5 did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the scheme (sustainable location, affordable housing, short-term deliverability) when assessed against the Framework as a whole, so the presumption in favour of sustainable development applied and permission was granted
