Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed dwellings would be in a suitable location having regard to relevant development plan policies, their position within the countryside, and accessibility to services and facilities
What decided it
The engagement of the presumption in favour of sustainable development under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework, as the most important policies for determining the application (Policies CS1, CS2 and Saved Policy H7) are out of date, and the modest adverse impacts do not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the cumulative benefits when assessed against Framework policies as a whole.
The modest adverse impacts of conflict with the development plan spatial strategy were outweighed by the cumulative benefits of housing delivery, affordable housing contribution, support for rural services, and economic benefits during construction, assessed under the presumption in favour of sustainable development in paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
Framework references: 11, 56
Plan policies cited: Policy CS1, Policy CS2, Saved Policy H7, Altered Policy H4, Policy FC1, Policy FC1.1
