Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area having regard to the setting of Godley Hall
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers having regard to the provision of outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites, combined with the proposal's accordance with the development plan and the absence of material harm to character, appearance, or the setting of the listed building, engaged the presumption in favour of sustainable development under paragraph 11 of the Framework.
The benefits of providing a new dwelling to address the Council's housing undersupply, combined with the proposal's preservation of the setting of Godley Hall and positive contribution to the character and appearance of the area, outweighed any adverse impacts when assessed against the policies in the Development Plan and Framework as a whole
