Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be suitably located having regard to relevant development plan policies concerning development in the open countryside
  • The effect of the use of the proposed access on highway safety
  • Whether the proposal would be acceptable having regard to ground conditions

What decided it

The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply triggered the presumption in favour of sustainable development under paragraph 11d) of the Framework, and the clear benefits of the proposed development, including housing contribution and site transformation, outweighed the conflict with the development plan.

The conflict with the development plan arising from the open countryside location was outweighed by the benefits of high design quality, effective use of land, transformation of an unattractive disused site, and contribution to housing supply, with the presumption in favour of sustainable development applying under paragraph 11d) of the Framework.
