Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is in an appropriate location with regard to local planning policy controlling the location of development and accessibility
  • Whether surface water can be adequately controlled and the effect of the development on flood risk
  • Whether there are any other material considerations that might indicate otherwise that the development should be permitted, with particular regard to the supply of housing land

What decided it

The shortfall in the Council's five-year housing land supply engaged the NPPF paragraph 11(d) tilted balance, and the substantial benefits of housing and affordable housing delivery were found to outweigh the identified harms.

The substantial benefits of housing delivery, including a significant affordable housing contribution, outweighed the less than substantial heritage harm, limited character and agricultural land harm, and conflict with the settlement strategy, such that adverse impacts did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits under NPPF paragraph 11(d)
