Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposals on living conditions of the occupiers of existing nearby dwellings in respect of outlook, light and community cohesion and whether the living conditions of future residents would be acceptable in respect of safety, pedestrian access and waste collection
- the effect of the proposals on nature conservation (local wildlife site, habitats and biodiversity)
- the effect of the proposals on Green Infrastructure Asset and Open Space Network
What decided it
The harm to the living conditions of adjoining and future residents alone was found to outweigh the benefits of the scheme, even without the other harms identified.
the benefits of the scheme (Japanese Knotweed removal, affordable housing and employment/training contributions, and unilateral undertakings) did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance, living conditions, nature conservation and the Green Infrastructure Asset/Open Space Network, and even under the tilted balance the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits
