Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the significance of an area of ridge and furrow earthworks which is a non-designated heritage asset and on the character of the surrounding area
What decided it
The housing land supply shortfall of less than five years, combined with the limited scale of heritage harm to a non-designated asset, engaged the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11(d) in favour of the proposal.
The limited adverse heritage impacts and conflict with local plan policies were outweighed by the delivery of four new homes in a district with a housing supply shortfall of 0.93 years, modest economic benefits, and biodiversity gains, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development applied.
