Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would provide a suitable location for housing, having regard to the development strategy for the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The significant shortfall in five-year housing land supply (1.10 years) engaged the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11(d)(ii), and the benefits of housing delivery and sustainable location outweighed the conflict with the development plan strategy.

the conflict with the development plan strategy (moderate weight) was outweighed by the significant weight of housing delivery in the context of a 1.10 year supply shortfall, the sustainable location, and moderate socio-economic and economic benefits, such that permission should be granted despite the plan conflict
