Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether it would be in a suitable location having regard to the relevant policies of the development plan and the National Planning Policy Framework
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply engaged the presumption in favour of sustainable development under NPPF paragraph 11(d), and the benefits of housing delivery and support for rural services outweighed the limited weight afforded to the conflict with development plan location policies.
the minor but positive contribution to housing stock and support for local services, weighted as moderate benefit, outweighed the limited harm caused by non-compliance with development plan location policies when assessed against the Framework as a whole under the tilted balance
Framework references: 11, 73, 83, 84
