Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for residential development having regard to the Council's local development strategy
What decided it
The extant fallback position for a dwelling at the site, combined with the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, outweighed the conflict with the spatial strategy in Policy SWDP2.
The conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy was outweighed by the fallback position, the site's sustainable location with access to facilities and services, and the Council's severe housing land shortfall.
