Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is suitable for a dwelling, having regard to its location, the proposed land use, and the amount of development
What decided it
The conflict with Policy 1 of the Neighbourhood Plan, made within the last five years and containing allocations to meet identified housing requirements, substantially outweighs the benefit of delivering an additional dwelling despite the housing land supply shortfall.
The substantial weight given to the benefit of delivering an additional dwelling in the context of a 3.9-year housing land supply was substantially outweighed by the adverse effect of conflicting with a recent neighbourhood plan containing allocations to meet identified housing requirements, in accordance with Framework Policy S6.
