Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The acute shortfall in housing land supply and the Framework's support for self-build dwellings, secured by a Unilateral Undertaking, meant the moderate harm to character and appearance did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.

The moderate harm to character and appearance was outweighed by the acute shortfall in housing land supply, the small contribution to housing delivery in an accessible location, and the benefits of securing self-build provision, when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole under the tilted balance.
