Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is in a suitable location having regard to planning policies concerned with housing
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- highway safety
What decided it
The site lies within an existing ribbon of residential development of more than 10 dwellings and would not extend it linearly, satisfying the policy criteria for small gaps, and the proposed development would accord with relevant development plan policies on location, character and highway safety.
The availability of a 5-year supply of housing land does not outweigh the conclusion that the proposal accords with relevant development plan policies for the area.
