Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing, having regard to the development strategy for the area
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The lack of a five-year housing land supply engaged the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11(d), and the significant weight afforded to self-build housing provision and housing delivery benefits outweighed the limited and localised harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan.
The harm from conflict with the development plan and limited harm to character and appearance did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply, self-build provision, economic benefits, and accessibility to village services when assessed against the Framework as a whole, tipping the balance in favour of allowing the appeal.
