Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is suitable for residential development, having regard to location, land use and the amount of development

What decided it

The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing supply (only 3.8 years available) engaged the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11d), which meant the benefits of housing delivery outweighed the policy conflicts and limited harm to character and appearance.

the benefits of delivering up to two dwellings in an accessible location with quick build-out potential, supporting services and the rural economy, outweighed the limited harm to character and appearance and the conflict with local policies restricting housing in the countryside
