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 development would integrate well with the existing pattern of development and complement the character and appearance of the area, complying with the development plan policies and the Backland Residential Development SPD.

The benefits of housing delivery and contribution to the Council's housing supply, combined with the proposal's compliance with the development plan and design guidance, outweighed any concerns, particularly given the Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply.
