Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The suitability of the site for the proposed development taking account of its location, its effect on the character and appearance of the area, and its access to services and likely modes of travel
  • Whether the proposal would amount to an appropriate housing mix

What decided it

The lack of a 5-year housing land supply and the out-of-date development plan engaged the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11(d), and the proposal's integration within an existing cluster of development without harm to countryside character meant the benefits outweighed any adverse impacts.

The benefits of housing delivery and the site's integration within an existing residential cluster outweighed the conflict with the out-of-date Policy N7, as the proposal would not significantly harm the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside and would contribute to the vitality of rural communities
