Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be in an appropriate location, having regard to the Council's spatial strategy and access to services and facilities
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply (3.9 years) engaged the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11(d)(ii), which meant that the modest benefits of housing delivery outweighed the modest harm to location sustainability and character and appearance.
the modest positive contribution to housing supply and associated social and economic benefits outweighed the modest combined harm to location sustainability and character and appearance, when assessed against the Framework as a whole
