Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of No 84 and No 86 River View, with regard to outlook and overshadowing
- whether suitable living conditions would be provided for future occupants of the development, with regards to external amenity space
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with regard to access and servicing
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable harms to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring and future occupants outweighed the substantial benefits of housing delivery in circumstances where the Council cannot demonstrate a five-year supply.
The substantial benefits of delivering nine new homes in an area with a 2.5-year housing land supply were outweighed by the significant harms to character and appearance and living conditions, assessed against the policies of the Framework as a whole.

- Development plan policies
- PMD1PMD2PMD8CSTP22CSTP23
