Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The proposed development's effects on the area's character and appearance
- The proposed development's effects on living conditions at neighbouring properties, with regard to privacy or other impacts
What decided it
The proposed development would cause no harm to character and appearance or living conditions, would accord with all relevant Local Plan policies, and would provide housing in a district lacking a 5-year supply.
The benefits of increasing the supply of deliverable housing sites in a sustainable urban location in a district with significant unmet housing needs outweighed any other considerations, with no material considerations weighing against the proposal.

- Policy H4Policy D1
- National Planning Policy Framework
