Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect upon the character and appearance of the area having regard to relevant provisions of the development plan, including consideration of the effect upon on-site trees
- The effect upon relevant SPAs
What decided it
The chronic housing land supply shortfall (1.28 years) generated benefits of housing delivery that were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the considerable but contained harm to character and appearance from tree loss and countryside development.
The considerable harm to character and appearance and associated development plan conflict did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the substantial benefits, particularly housing delivery, affordable housing and self-build provision, when assessed against the Framework's policies as a whole.
