Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed dwelling would be suitably located having regard to (a) the relevant policies of the development plan and (b) the Council's current inability to demonstrate a Framework-compliant housing land supply.
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a Framework-compliant housing land supply of less than 2.5 years, which engaged the tilted balance and attached significant weight to the benefit of the dwelling, outweighed the limited conflict with development plan policies and limited adverse impacts.
The modest benefit of a single dwelling to the Council's deficient housing land supply, given significant weight under the tilted balance, outweighed the limited degree of conflict with the development plan and limited adverse impacts.
Framework references: 11
