Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be in a suitable location for housing having regard to the development strategy for the area
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether appropriate provision has been made for the delivery of self-build and custom housing
What decided it
The substantial positive weight given to the proposal's contribution to meeting the identified and growing shortfall in self-build and custom housing supply outweighed the conflict with the development plan and modest harm to character and appearance.
The contribution to self-build and custom housing supply, given substantial positive weight, outweighed the modest harm to character and appearance and the conflict with the development strategy moderated by the site's proximity to the development limit.
