Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, having regard to the local development strategy
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on flood risk
- the effect of the proposal on biodiversity
- if harm arises, whether this is outweighed by other considerations
What decided it
The adverse impacts of the proposal on the locational strategy, character and appearance, flood risk, and biodiversity significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of five dwellings when assessed against the Framework policies taken as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
The modest benefits of providing five dwellings to address a 4.5-year housing land supply shortfall were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on locational strategy, character and appearance, flood risk, and biodiversity when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
