Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposal, with reference to the spatial strategy in the development plan
- The accessibility of services and facilities
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The moderate weight given to conflict with the spatial strategy was outweighed by the benefits of housing delivery, including affordable housing, in the context of the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply and the paragraph 11 tilted balance.
The moderate cumulative adverse impacts of the conflict with the spatial strategy did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, including housing and affordable housing delivery, sustainable transport access and biodiversity benefits, when assessed against the Framework policies taken as a whole.
