Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to outlook and privacy
whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupiers of the dwelling with particular regard to amenity space and privacy

What decided it

The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, combined with the absence of conflict with the development plan on the main issues of neighbouring and future occupier living conditions, engaged the tilted balance under Framework paragraph 11(c), requiring permission to be approved without delay.

The contribution of a single dwelling to housing land supply, in the context of the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year supply, outweighed any concerns and supported approval under the tilted balance.
