Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed dwelling's design, which creates visual coherence with the existing Highlands through its pastiche Edwardian style and stepped roof profile, ensures it would make a positive contribution to the street scene and would not cause harmful effects on character and appearance despite the infill nature of the development.
The benefits of delivering one additional dwelling to address the Council's acknowledged five-year housing supply shortfall outweighed the concerns about plot subdivision and reduced curtilage, as the design and siting would not cause harmful effects on the character and appearance of the area
