Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed dwelling would be suitably located having regard to the locational policies of the development plan
- the effect of the proposal on existing trees and biodiversity
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a Framework-compliant housing land supply engaged the tilted balance, and the limited planning harm from locational conflict was insufficient to outweigh the benefit of providing one dwelling in these circumstances.
the limited planning harm arising from conflict with locational policies of the development plan was outweighed by the benefit of providing housing in circumstances of a housing land supply shortfall, having regard to the site's adjunction to an identifiable small settlement with local facilities and employment
