Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- whether the proposal makes an adequate contribution towards the provision of affordable housing
- the consequences of a refusal of permission for the appellant's family
What decided it
The Council's significant housing land supply shortfall of 1.10 years, combined with the delivery of one open market dwelling in a location with genuine transport choice, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the policy conflicts and justified allowing the appeal under the tilted balance.
the addition of one open market dwelling with genuine transport choice in a district with significant housing shortfall significantly and demonstrably outweighed the harm from conflicts with Policies SWDP1, SWDP2(c) and SWDP15, and the personal circumstances of the appellant's family provided additional justification
