Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the development would be in a suitable location having regard to the policies of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy 2016 and the Kettering Site Specific Part 2 Local Plan 2021 as well as the National Planning Policy Framework and accessibility
the development's effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal's location in open countryside outside a defined village boundary, combined with the Council's ability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, meant the identified conflict with JCS and LP policies could not be outweighed by the modest benefits of the scheme.

the modest benefits of housing delivery and economic activity were insufficient to justify a determination other than in accordance with the development plan, which conflicts with the proposal

Framework references: 79, 80

Plan policies cited: JCS policy 11, JCS policy 13, JCS policy 29, LP policy RS3, LP policy RS4, JCS policy 8, LP policy RS5

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
