Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, which engaged the tilted balance and meant that the limited harm to character and appearance was outweighed by the significant benefit of contributing to housing supply.
the limited harm to character and appearance would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply contribution when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole, and the modest conflict with the development plan is a material consideration which weighs heavily in favour of the scheme
