Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and development of Kellington and its surroundings
- Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for residents with particular regards to the neighbouring businesses
What decided it
The combination of harm to character and appearance and the unacceptable risk of harm to living conditions from proximity to the neighbouring commercial enterprise, which the appellant failed to adequately mitigate.
The benefits of affordable housing, employment generation and support for local services were afforded some weight but did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance and the real risk of harm to living conditions from neighbouring business operations.
