Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed parking area on the living conditions of the occupiers of ground floor flats in The Haven, with particular regard to noise, air quality and light nuisance

What decided it

The absence of any material harm to character and appearance or living conditions meant there were no adverse impacts capable of outweighing the significant benefits of housing delivery, so the proposal was found to be sustainable development in accordance with the development plan.

the benefits of the proposal's contribution to housing delivery attracted significant weight, and with no adverse impacts identified, these benefits were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed, tipping the balance in favour of the proposal
