Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site would be suitable, in terms of location and land use, for residential development, having regard to local policies
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, combined with the significant local housing shortfall (3.8 years supply, 4421 homes needed annually), meant the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11 applied, and the considerable benefit of delivering up to five new homes outweighed the limited adverse effects of policy conflict.
the limited adverse effects of policy conflict and loss of employment land were outweighed by the considerable benefits of delivering much-needed homes in an area with a significant housing land supply shortfall
