Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in an appropriate location, taking account of the Council's spatial strategy and the effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The shortfall in housing land supply (3.9 years against a 5-year requirement) triggered the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11d, and the limited on-the-ground harm from the conflict with the spatial strategy and character policies did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the housing benefits.
The benefits of 3-5 new homes and economic support (moderate weight) were weighed against considerable weight given to the conflict with development plan policies on spatial strategy and character; however, the limited on-the-ground harm from the conflict did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole, and the development represents sustainable development.
