Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing and future residents, with particular regard to loss of privacy, loss of outlook, overshadowing and loss of light
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply engaged the tilted balance test, and the limited harm to character and appearance was outweighed by the benefits of housing delivery and the sustainability of the location.
The limited harm to character and appearance was outweighed by the benefits of providing an additional dwelling in a location with access to services and facilities, in the context of the Council's housing land supply shortfall
