Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is suitable for the proposal in terms of location, land use and amount of development, having regard to the relevant policies in the development plan
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, combined with the limited locational harm of the site when assessed against Framework policies taken as a whole, outweighed the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy.
The limited locational harm and absence of harmful encroachment into open countryside, together with the benefits of housing supply and self-build provision, were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the identified conflicts with the development plan when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole
Framework references: 11
Plan policies cited: Policy GEN 01, Policy GEN 03, Policy GEN 05, Policy HOU 02, Policy HOU 03, Policy HOU 05, Policy ENV 02
