Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed dwellings on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, in particular 5 and 8 Old Court with respect to outlook and the living conditions of future occupiers with respect to the provision of garden space
- The effect of the proposal on biodiversity, especially in regard to the need, provision and quality of compensatory measures
What decided it
The proposal accords with the development plan taken as a whole and the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, combined with the delivery of family housing, outweighed any residual concerns.
The benefits of housing delivery and the accordance with the development plan outweighed any concerns, particularly given the Council's lack of a five-year housing land supply.
