Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be suitably located having regard to relevant development plan policies concerning housing in the countryside
- Whether the proposal provides an adequate s106 agreement
What decided it
The absence of a five-year housing land supply and the significant benefit of delivering 27 dwellings in an area falling well short of housing requirements outweighed the conflict with development plan policies restricting housing in the countryside.
The adverse impact of being at odds with the spatial strategy for housing in the development plan was outweighed by the significant benefit of providing 27 dwellings in an area falling well short of housing supply, moderate economic, social and environmental benefits, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development under Framework paragraph 11(d).
