Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the disputed condition is reasonable and necessary in the interests of policies which seek to control the location of housing
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply triggered the tilted balance under paragraph 11 of the Framework, and the substantial weight given to boosting housing supply outweighed the conflict with out-of-date development plan policies.
The adverse impacts of conflicting with development plan policies controlling housing location were outweighed by the substantial benefit of contributing to housing supply in a location with close proximity to services and facilities, applying the tilted balance under paragraph 11 of the Framework.
Framework references: 11, 17
Plan policies cited: Policy HO3, Policy 2, Policy 3, Policy 7
