Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitably located for residential development, with particular regard to its accessibility to services and facilities
What decided it
The site's accessibility to services and facilities by sustainable means, combined with the Framework's less restrictive approach to housing in rural communities, outweighed the conflict with the restrictive Policy CS2 when the tilted balance was applied.
The adverse impacts of granting permission, namely conflict with Policy CS2, did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply, brownfield reuse, biodiversity enhancements and economic benefits, such that the proposal benefits from the presumption in favour of sustainable development under paragraph 11d) of the Framework.
Framework references: 80, 11
Plan policies cited: Policy CS2, Policy CS15, Policy CS11
