Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character and appearance of Thorpe Willoughby and on the setting of Brayton Barff having regard to its inclusion within a Locally Important Landscape Area (LILA)
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, combined with the significant benefits of delivering 110 dwellings in an area of acknowledged housing shortage, outweighs the limited landscape and character concerns.
The significant shortfall in housing land supply and the substantial benefits of delivering 110 dwellings, affordable housing, self-build units, economic benefits, and biodiversity net gain outweigh the limited harms identified in relation to landscape character and the setting of Brayton Barff, when assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole.
