Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposal having regard to local and national policy, and the accessibility of the site to services and facilities
- Whether the proposed development makes adequate provision for affordable housing, with reference to both local and national planning policies
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply engaged the tilted balance, and the substantial housing benefits and affordable housing provision outweighed the location sustainability concerns.
The adverse impacts arising from the development in an unsustainable location did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the scheme's benefits in delivering needed housing and affordable housing, with the tilted balance applied under NPPF paragraph 11(d).
