Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposal would provide predominantly single storey homes
whether the proposal would provide an appropriate mix of housing
whether the proposed development would harm the living conditions of the occupiers of No 10 Oates Lane

What decided it

The approved 2024 reserved matters scheme demonstrating that the same layout with relocated boundary fencing is acceptable to the Council provided material evidence that the proposed development, subject to an appropriately worded condition moving the acoustic fence further from No 10's boundary, would accord with the development plan and overcome all three reasons for refusal.
