Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use, and the amount of development
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply engaged the tilted balance under Framework paragraph 11(d), and the moderate weight afforded to housing supply and the sustainable location of the site outweighed the moderate weight given to the conflict with the development plan strategy.
The adverse impacts of granting permission (conflict with LP policies 3 and 7 and the development plan strategy, afforded moderate weight) did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits (provision of 5 additional houses in an area with acknowledged lack of housing provision, modest economic and social benefits, afforded moderate weight, assessed against the Framework as a whole under paragraph 11(d)).
