Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether the proposed development would have an acceptable overall level of density
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply engaged the tilted balance test, and the limited harm to character and appearance did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits.
The limited harm to character and appearance was outweighed by the moderate benefit of nine new dwellings addressing the housing shortfall and limited economic benefits, applying the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
