Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site could accommodate the development proposed when judged against the character of the surrounding area
- The effect the proposal would have on the living conditions of neighbouring dwellings in respect of privacy and any overbearing impact
What decided it
The site's sustainable urban location, difficult topography, and backland character justify development that does not replicate the normal area form, and the proposal would not cause material harm to character or neighbouring living conditions.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 55
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
