Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether a satisfactory standard of accommodation would be provided, with particular regard to amenity space
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
- whether satisfactory refuse and recycling facilities would be provided
- the effect of the proposed development on parking provision
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, combined with the Government's objective of significantly boosting housing supply, meant that the adverse effect of inadequate amenity space did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the clear benefits of the development when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The significant benefits of contributing two dwellings to housing supply in an area with acknowledged lack of future provision, together with moderate social and economic benefits, outweighed the adverse effect relating solely to inadequate outdoor amenity space.
