Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants with particular regard to privacy and outlook
- The effect of the proposed development on the health of nearby occupants
- The effect of the proposed development on the setting of nearby listed buildings
What decided it
The delivery of an additional housing unit in a district unable to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, combined with the location within a sustainable settlement and the absence of significant harm to living conditions, meant the presumption in favour of sustainable development applied and permission should be granted.
The limited adverse impact on the health and quality of life of a family member at a neighbouring property did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of an additional home in a suitable location within a settlement where housing supply falls below national policy requirements
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DC1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 70
