What decided it
The Council's agreement that the proposal complies with the development plan in all respects, combined with the Inspector's acceptance of the design, parking, and viability justifications, rendered the appeal allowable without need to examine housing supply.
The benefits of the proposal, including housing delivery and site improvement, outweighed any concerns raised by local residents regarding character, parking, and service provision, as the proposal accords with the development plan.
