Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether 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 absence of a five-year housing land supply triggered the presumption in favour of sustainable development under NPPF paragraph 11(d), and the modest benefits of providing two dwellings were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the moderate harms from conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy and sustainability requirements.

The modest housing contribution and limited economic benefits of the proposal, afforded moderate weight, were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the moderate weight given to conflict with the Council's locational strategy and reliance on private motor vehicles, resulting in permission being granted under the tilted balance.
