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.
