Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regards to privacy, outlook and light
What decided it
The proposal would not cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regards to privacy, outlook and light due to adequate separation distances, boundary treatments, and design measures.
The presumption in favour of sustainable development under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework was engaged due to the Council's failure to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply; however, the Inspector concluded that the proposal accords with the development plan and therefore the appeal should be allowed in accordance with the development plan without need to apply the tilted balance.
Framework references: 11
