Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposal would not be harmful to the character and appearance of the area and would make effective use of underutilised urban land in accordance with NPPF paragraph 11 and the development plan policies.
The benefits of making effective use of underutilised urban land for residential development were balanced against the need to maintain the character and appearance of the area and the spatial break in the built-up area; the balance tipped in favour of allowing the appeal.
