Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development on the gardens adjacent to the northern boundary of the appeal site, with specific reference to the outlook and light afforded to the occupiers of those gardens
- The effects of the proposed development on the integrity of European Sites
What decided it
The proposal's accordance with the development plan as a whole, combined with the absence of material considerations indicating a decision should be made otherwise, and the valuable contribution to housing supply in circumstances of significant shortfall.
The modest but valuable contribution to housing supply outweighed any concerns, given the Council's inability to demonstrate five years' housing land supply.
