Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is an appropriate location for residential development, having particular regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development

What decided it

The Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply engaged the presumption in favour of sustainable development, and the substantial weight afforded to housing delivery outweighed the less-than-moderate harm arising from conflict with settlement boundary and countryside restraint policies.

The substantial weight afforded to the provision of up to 7 dwellings and the limited economic benefits of the proposal outweighed the less-than-moderate adverse impact arising from conflict with development plan policies relating to settlement boundary and countryside restraint, with the presumption in favour of sustainable development applied
