Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed dwelling's scale, form, and siting would not harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling or surrounding area, and would accord with development plan policies requiring high design standards that respect local context and support residential garden development of appropriate size and scale.
Even if the Council could not demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites, there were no adverse impacts which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the proposal, so the appeal should be allowed.
