Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is in an appropriate location for housing having regard to the development plan and its strategy for the distribution of new development
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effects on the integrity of the Humber Estuary Special Protection Area (SPA), Special Area of Conservation (SAC), Ramsar site, and Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)
What decided it
The significant positive weight given to the delivery of affordable homes and the overall housing supply benefits, combined with the absence of harmful effects on character, appearance and protected sites, substantially outweighed the limited conflict with the development plan.
The benefits of the proposed development, particularly the delivery of 20% affordable housing and significant boost to housing supply, considerably outweighed the minor conflict with LP Policy 5 regarding the settlement boundary location.
