Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether, in principle, the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development
What decided it
The Council's failure to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply engaged the presumption in favour of sustainable development under Framework paragraph 11d)ii, which, combined with the site's reasonable accessibility to services and the modest housing contribution, outweighed the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy.
the conflict with the development strategy and countryside safeguarding (less than moderate weight) was outweighed by the significant importance of housing delivery in the context of a shortfall in five-year housing land supply and the moderate weight afforded to the housing benefits of the modest proposal (up to 2 dwellings)
