Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the suitability of the site as a location for a residential development
- the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for the future occupiers of the development
- the effect of the development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties
What decided it
The site's location in a sustainable residential area with good transport accessibility and proximity to facilities, combined with the development's compliance with development plan policies and its design being appropriate to the surrounding context, justified allowing the appeal.
