Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the scheme would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to on-site amenity space
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply engaged the tilted balance, and the modest but material contribution of 4 net additional dwellings outweighed the moderate harm from limited communal amenity space.
The moderate harm from limited communal outdoor amenity space conflicting with Core Policy 57 was outweighed by the moderate benefit of 4 net additional dwellings towards the housing land supply shortfall and limited economic benefits, with the tilted balance applied due to the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year supply.
