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 nearby residents and future occupiers of the proposed dwellings
What decided it
The design changes to reduce height and roof pitch, combined with the varied nature of the locality and the proposal's accordance with the development plan, outweighed any concerns about character and appearance or living conditions.
The modest contribution to housing supply and accordance with the development plan weighed in favour of the appeal, with no material considerations indicating a decision other than in accordance with the development plan.
