Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the development would provide an acceptable standard of living conditions for future occupants
- the effects on highway safety with regard to provision of parking and servicing and delivery arrangements
- whether the development would deliver an appropriate level of affordable housing and make appropriate provisions for local employment and training
What decided it
The substantial and long-lasting harms to character and appearance, living conditions of future occupants, and highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The adverse impacts of granting planning permission, comprising substantial harm to character and appearance, living conditions and highway safety, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of 43 housing units in an accessible location and economic benefits, assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole.
