Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development

What decided it

The proposal complies with the development plan when taken as a whole and the site is suitable for residential development in terms of location, land use and amount.

The absence of a five-year housing land supply engaged the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11(d), but the proposal's accordance with the development plan meant the balance tipped in favour of allowing the appeal.
