Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The main issue is the effect of the proposed development upon the provision of employment land.

What decided it

The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing land, engaging the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework, meant the substantial housing benefits outweighed the conflict with employment land policies.

the substantial and great weight benefits of market and affordable housing delivery, self-build provision, and economic growth outweighed the conflict with BNDP Policy EE1 and VALP Policy E2, such that adverse impacts did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits
