Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The significant adverse impacts on character, appearance and neighbouring amenity substantially and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery in a location where the Council cannot demonstrate a 5-year supply.
The limited but important contribution to housing requirements and modest economic benefits were substantially and demonstrably outweighed by the significant adverse impacts on good design and high standard of amenity required by the Framework
