Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the appeal site is a suitable location for four dwellings taking into consideration development plan policies regarding the character and appearance of the area and the accessibility of services and facilities

What decided it

The Council's failure to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply triggered the presumption in favour of sustainable development, which outweighed the development plan conflicts and relatively minor adverse impacts.

The adverse impacts of unsatisfactory location and moderate increase in private vehicle trips were outweighed by the contribution to housing supply shortfall (4.16 years in the HMA), support for local services, biodiversity enhancement, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
