Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be in a suitable location
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the integrity of Habitats sites, with particular regard to nutrient neutrality and recreational pressure
What decided it
The absence of a five-year housing land supply triggered the tilted balance under Framework paragraph 11(d)(ii), and the cumulative benefits of housing delivery, self-build provision, and location sustainability significantly outweighed the significant harm to character and appearance.
The significant harm to character and appearance was outweighed by the cumulative significant benefits of housing provision, self-build and custom housebuilding delivery, location sustainability, and economic benefits, assessed against the Framework policies taken as a whole under the tilted balance.
