Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location and scale of development would accord with the development plan
- whether the proposal would lead to coalescence of Alfold Crossways with Dunsfold Park Village
- the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
What decided it
the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply (3.19 years) engaged the paragraph 11(d) tilted balance, which the identified harms were not sufficient to outweigh
the significant benefits of housing and affordable housing delivery, together with economic and social infrastructure benefits, were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the modest landscape harm and conflict with Policy ANP H1, so the tilted balance favoured granting permission
