Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- whether acceptable living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the proposed dwellings with regard to private garden space provision, light and outlook

What decided it
The provision of three affordable dwellings within the settlement boundary, combined with acceptable design that respects the character of the area and manageable impacts on neighbouring privacy through appropriate conditions, outweighed the Council's concerns.
