Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupants of the units, with regard to privacy and outlook
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to privacy, sunlight, and daylight
What decided it
The proposal complies with the development plan and, in the context of the Council's lack of five-year housing supply, the benefits of housing delivery are not outweighed by any substantial harm.
The social, economic and environmental benefits of delivering four additional dwellings in a sustainable location outweigh any adverse impacts when assessed against the Framework, and the proposal complies with the development plan so should be approved
