Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would not cause material harm to character and appearance, would make efficient use of land to deliver housing in a borough unable to demonstrate a five-year housing supply, and would comply with the development plan taken as a whole.
The benefits of delivering an additional dwelling in a location with good access to services and contributing to remedying the housing shortfall outweighed any concerns, with no adverse impacts identified that would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.
