Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area and protected trees

What decided it

The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply engaged the tilted balance under Framework paragraph 11(d)(ii), and the significant benefits of housing delivery outweighed the less-than-substantial harm to character and appearance and the loss of protected trees.

The significant benefits of providing a new home in a sustainable location with economic benefits during construction and from future occupiers' spending, collectively attracting significant weight given the housing shortfall, outweighed the adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and loss of protected trees, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development applied.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy GE11Policy H14
