Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for self-build/custom build housing with regard to local and national policies

What decided it

The Council's statutory duty to provide sufficient self-build and custom build plots to meet demand, combined with a demonstrated shortfall of 76 plots and the Framework's support for small sites for self-build housing, outweighs the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy.
