Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the development would provide reasonable living conditions for the future occupiers

What decided it

The engagement of the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11(d) due to the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, combined with the proposal's accordance with the development plan and provision of good design appropriate to the area.

The benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of land, combined with the proposal's accordance with development plan policies and good design, outweighed any other considerations.
