Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would comply with the settlement strategy of the Development Plan
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, combined with the substantial housing benefits of the proposal, means the adverse impacts do not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits under paragraph 11 of the Framework.
The moderate and limited negative weight given to conflicts with the development plan was substantially outweighed by the substantial positive weight of housing delivery (21 dwellings) and significant positive weight of affordable housing and self-build provision, in the context of a shortfall in five-year housing land supply.
