Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 558 Blandford Road with reference to noise
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of occupants at 558 Blandford Road through noise disturbance significantly outweighed the modest social and economic benefits of providing additional dwellings.

the significant harm to the living conditions of the occupants of No 558 through noise outweighed the modest social and economic benefits of eight additional dwellings, and even if a five-year housing land supply shortfall existed, the adverse impacts would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole
