Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the proposed rear dormer
- highway safety, with particular regard to parking provision
What decided it
The Council cannot demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites, engaging the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework, which means the limited and localised harm to character and appearance does not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery.
the limited adverse impacts on character and appearance and conflict with parking policy did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of delivering a much-needed dwelling in an accessible location with modest economic and social benefits, applying the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework
