Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is suitable for the proposed development, regarding land use and amount, and specifically in terms of the effect of the proposal on ecology and protected trees and on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The absence of harm regarding ecology, protected trees and character and appearance, combined with significant benefits from housing delivery and self-build provision in a location with a shortfall in five-year supply, means the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies.
The absence of harm does not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply contribution, self-build delivery, sustainable location and economic benefits when assessed against NPPF policies taken as a whole, therefore the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies.
