Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to daylight and sunlight

What decided it

The detailed daylight and sunlight evidence demonstrating that future occupiers would have acceptable living conditions, combined with the pressing need for housing in an area with insufficient five-year supply, outweighed any other considerations.

The benefits of housing delivery, particularly smaller dwellings meeting identified need, outweighed the absence of demonstrable harm to living conditions, privacy, character, highway safety, or flooding.
