Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The finding that the proposed building's scale, design and landscaping would not harm the character and appearance of the area.

Having found no harm to character and appearance and no other identified harms, the Inspector concluded the scheme accorded with the development plan as a whole, with no countervailing harms to weigh against the benefits including affordable housing provision.
