Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to privacy
- whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers of the development with particular regard to the provision of private outdoor space
- whether the proposal would deliver a sustainable form of development in the context that the Council is unable to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites
What decided it
The proposal accords with the development plan policies and the Framework, delivering a sustainable form of development in the context of the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
The proposal would deliver a sustainable form of development and accord with the policies of the development plan and the Framework, justifying the allowance of the appeal.
