Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, in terms of its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development, having specific regard to whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the development plan
What decided it
The housing land supply shortfall (3.8 years) triggered the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11, and the limited nature of the harm arising from conflict with the neighbourhood plan policy, combined with the site's visual containment and alignment with the policy's wider aims, meant the presumption in favour of sustainable development applied.
The limited harm from conflict with Policy HP1 of the neighbourhood plan, the absence of conflict with the policy's wider aims, and the benefits of housing supply and economic activity outweighed the adverse impacts when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole, applying the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11 due to the Council's housing land supply shortfall
