Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect on the living conditions of the existing residents of 15 Brethergate and the future residents of the proposed dwelling

What decided it

The council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, combined with the proposal's compliance with Policy S4 of the Framework (development within settlements should be approved unless benefits would be substantially outweighed by adverse effects), meant the appeal should be allowed.

applying Policy S4, development proposals within settlements should be approved unless the benefits of doing so would be substantially outweighed by any adverse effects, when assessed against the national decision-making policies in the Framework; the benefits of approving this proposal would not be substantially outweighed by adverse effects
