Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the provision of affordable housing, including the viability and deliverability of the scheme
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions at neighbouring properties in terms of daylight, privacy and noise
  • whether the proposal would comply with policies relating to air quality

What decided it

The proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole, particularly the site's allocation under Policy STC6 for a taller mixed-use building, and none of the Council's other concerns were sufficient to withhold permission once addressed by conditions and the planning obligation.

the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole and there were no material considerations to indicate that permission should be withheld, so the appeal was allowed
