Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is in a suitable location having particular regard to development plan policies and accessibility to local services and facilities
What decided it
The Council's shortfall in housing supply (3.8 years) and the application of the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11d) meant that the benefits of providing an additional residential unit and supporting farm diversification outweighed the conflicts with development plan policies and modest environmental harm.
the benefits of providing an additional residential unit in an area with insufficient housing supply, supporting farm diversification and contributing to the local economy outweighed the adverse impacts of a new dwelling in the countryside and reliance on private vehicles, as the environmental harm would not be significant and the adverse impacts would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole
