Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site would provide a suitable location for the proposed dwelling, having particular regard to development plan policies
- the effect of the proposed dwelling on the character and appearance of the Tamar Valley National Landscape
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites triggered the tilted balance under paragraph 11 of the Framework, which allowed the housing benefits to outweigh the conflict with the development plan.
the adverse impacts of the proposal do not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole; the benefits of boosting housing supply and providing a new home well related to an existing settlement outweighed the moderate weight given to development plan policies that aim to reduce reliance on private car travel
