Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal proposal would constitute an acceptable form of development with particular regard to the provisions of local and national policy in respect of the location of development
What decided it
The tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11d)ii, triggered by the Council's failure to meet the Housing Delivery Test, required permission to be granted as the adverse impacts did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against Framework policies as a whole.
The conflicts with LP Policies 2, 20 and 29 and the harm arising in those regards were outweighed by the greater weight given to applying the presumption in favour of sustainable development as set out in NPPF paragraph 11d)ii, resulting in permission being granted.
Framework references: 80, 11
Plan policies cited: LP Policy 2, LP Policy 20, LP Policy 29, LP Policy 1
