Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, taking into consideration its location in the Cotswolds National Landscape and the Public Right of Way
What decided it
The significant shortfall in housing land supply (1.8 years against a five-year requirement) engaged the presumption in favour of sustainable development under NPPF paragraph 11, which weighed heavily in favour of allowing the appeal despite the moderate localised harm to the National Landscape.
The moderate localised harm to the character and appearance of the Cotswolds National Landscape and adverse visual effects to the Public Right of Way were outweighed by the significant benefits of delivering 30 dwellings (including 12 affordable units and 1 self-build plot) to address a substantial housing supply shortfall, combined with landscaping and biodiversity enhancements, under the tilted balance of NPPF paragraph 11.
