Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would provide an appropriate quantity and mix of housing
- whether the development would make adequate provision for green infrastructure
What decided it
The substantial benefit of providing 5 new dwellings on an allocated housing site in an area with limited deliverable housing supply outweighed the moderate harm from lack of green infrastructure provision.
The moderate harm arising from the lack of green infrastructure provision was outweighed by the substantial benefits of providing new housing on an allocated site, with the tilted balance applied under NPPF 11(d)(ii) due to the Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply.
