Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers would be protected and acceptable living conditions for future occupiers provided, with particular regard to levels of privacy at and between the proposed development and Nos 1 and 3 Gillbank Drive
What decided it
The proposal's compliance with the development plan, combined with its contribution to self-build housing delivery and the council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing supply, justified allowing the appeal.
The benefits of delivering a self-build dwelling and contributing to housing supply in an area with insufficient five-year supply outweighed any concerns, with the proposal according with the development plan as a whole.
