Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers at 1 Kingston Avenue, having regard to light, outlook and privacy
the effect of the proposal on the integrity of the SPA

What decided it

The Council cannot demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites, and the benefits of providing homes to meet accommodation needs, combined with better use of vacant land, substantially outweigh the limited harm to neighbouring living conditions when assessed against the Framework's national decision-making policies.

the totality of the benefits of housing delivery, better use of vacant and underutilised land, and associated social and economic benefits would not be substantially outweighed by the limited adverse effects identified to the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 1 Kingston Avenue and when assessed against the national decision-making policies in the Framework
