Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location having regard to the development strategy
  • whether the proposal would include suitable arrangements for surface water drainage

What decided it

The benefits of housing delivery and support for rural community vitality, when taken together with compliance with the Framework as a whole, justified determination otherwise than in accordance with the development plan despite the policy conflict with the settlement strategy.

The conflict with the development plan settlement strategy was outweighed by the benefits of housing delivery, accessibility to services within the settlement, economic benefits during construction and occupation, and the Framework's aim to significantly boost housing supply and enhance or maintain the vitality of rural communities.

Plan policies cited: Policy 2 of the North Dorset Local Plan Part 1, Policy 20 of the North Dorset Local Plan Part 1, Policy 3 of the North Dorset Local Plan Part 1
