Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with specific regard to the site frontage
the effects of the proposal on Biodiversity and the Thames Basin Heath Special Protection Area (TBH SPA)

What decided it

The proposal accords with the development plan as a whole and the Council cannot demonstrate a five-year housing supply, triggering a presumption in favour of sustainable development which is not displaced by any identified conflicts with the development plan.

No balancing exercise was undertaken as the proposal accords with the development plan and no conflicts were identified; the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies due to the lack of five-year housing supply.

Development plan policies: Policy NBE9Policy GEN1Policy NBE4
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11
