Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal scheme would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt
What decided it
The appeal scheme would not cause substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt and therefore would not be inappropriate development, and given the Council's housing land supply deficit, the benefits of housing delivery outweighed any other considerations.
The Council's lack of five-year housing land supply engaged paragraph 11(d) of the Framework; the Inspector attached significant weight to the delivery of a single dwellinghouse and found no adverse impacts that would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, allowing the appeal.
