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
