Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would be in a suitable location, with particular regard to the development strategy
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of future occupiers of the development having regard to light and outlook from bedroom 3
- the effect of the proposed development on trees
What decided it
The out-of-date status of the development plan policies most important for determining the appeal, combined with the presumption in favour of sustainable development under paragraph 11 of the Framework, meant that the modest housing benefits and absence of significant harm outweighed the conflict with Policy PSP40.
The adverse impacts of conflicting with Policy PSP40 did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the proposal in terms of housing supply and site accessibility, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development applied and permission should be granted.
