Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is suitably located and provides a suitable mix of housing, with particular regard to the provision of family homes
- Whether the development provides satisfactory living conditions for occupants, with regard to communal space
- The effect of the development on the character of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- Whether the development provides suitable arrangements for car parking and cycle storage
What decided it
The development fails to accord with the development plan on multiple grounds—unsuitability of location, loss of family housing stock, inadequate communal space for occupants, and significant adverse impacts on character and neighbouring amenity through noise and disturbance—and these conflicts are not outweighed by other considerations.
