Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the development would provide satisfactory living conditions for its occupiers, with particular regard to the quality of the garden space
What decided it
The substantial weight afforded to housing delivery and the presumption in favour of development within settlements under Policies S3 and S4 of the Framework outweighed the limited harm to living conditions from the constrained garden space.
The substantial benefits of providing an additional dwelling in a sustainable location, contributing to housing supply at a time of significant shortfall, and securing a self-build dwelling outweighed the limited harm to living conditions arising from the quality and configuration of the proposed garden space.
Plan policies cited: Policy HP3, Policy HP4
