Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, having regard to the local development strategy
whether other considerations exist which outweigh any conflict with the development plan

What decided it

The significant shortfall in supply of self-build and custom build plots identified in the Council's own evidence, combined with the statutory duty under the Self-Build and Custom Housebuilding Act 2015 to meet demand, outweighed the conflict with the development plan policies limiting housing growth in the settlement.

The significant benefits of the scheme through the provision of 12 self-build and custom build dwellings, which would meet an identified statutory need, outweighed the moderate harm arising from conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy and housing distribution policies.
