Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, with reference to the spatial strategy in the development plan
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The lack of a five-year housing land supply engaged the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework, and the benefits (particularly housing delivery and affordable housing) were found not to be significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the moderate adverse effects.
The moderate adverse effects on character and appearance and the breach of the spatial strategy did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, particularly the contribution to the housing shortfall and the delivery of affordable housing, so permission was granted under the tilted balance.
