Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be capable of complying with the general condition of planning permission set out at paragraph 13 of Schedule 7A to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) in respect of Biodiversity Net Gain
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to its effect on the special interest and significance of heritage assets
- Whether the proposal constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply engaged the presumption in favour of sustainable development, and the less than substantial heritage harm was outweighed by the public benefits of housing delivery, sustainable location, design quality and biodiversity gain, with the proposal satisfying the grey belt criteria in the revised Framework.
The less than substantial harm to heritage assets at the very lower end of the scale, outweighed by public benefits of housing delivery, sustainable location, design quality and biodiversity gain, with no adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits when assessed against Framework policies as a whole.
