Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The absence of a five-year housing land supply, combined with the proposal's compliance with Framework objectives on design and sustainable location, means the benefits of housing delivery significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited harm to countryside policies.

The adverse impacts of conflict with Policies S7 and S8 (limited weight) and potential noise effects (limited weight, mitigable by condition) are significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the benefits of housing delivery (moderate weight), economic benefits (modest weight), and compliance with Framework objectives on design and sustainable development, applying the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d)

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy S7Policy S8Policy GEN2Policy H4
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
