Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location, land use and amount of the proposed development is suitable, having regard to the effect of the proposed development on highway safety on Frampton End Road, with particular regard to safe access
- whether the location, land use and amount of the proposed development is suitable, having regard to the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to fumes, light, noise and disturbance from vehicles
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites rendered the settlement boundary policy out-of-date, and the absence of any adverse impacts at the PiP stage meant the tilted balance favoured granting permission.
The conflict with the development plan settlement boundary policy was outweighed by the benefits of delivering up to four new dwellings in a sustainable location, with no adverse impacts on highway safety or neighbouring living conditions identified at the PiP stage.
