Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the location, nature and scale of the proposal accords with the development plan
  • the effects of the proposal on highway safety and capacity
  • the effect of the proposal on the landscape character and visual amenities of the area

What decided it

The Council's inability to demonstrate a five year housing land supply engaged the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11 d), and the benefits of housing delivery were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the identified harms.

the significant benefit of housing delivery (including affordable housing), together with modest benefits from biodiversity net gain, sustainable location and limited weight economic benefits, outweighed the harm from conflict with the development plan, limited landscape/visual harm and limited weight loss of best and most versatile agricultural land, so that adverse impacts did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits
