Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the supply of family sized housing within the borough
- the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal would harm both the supply of family housing in the borough and the living conditions of neighbouring residents, in conflict with the development plan, with no material considerations indicating the decision should be made otherwise.
The harm to family housing supply and neighbour living conditions outweighed any claimed benefits relating to key worker accommodation, with no exceptional circumstances demonstrated to justify departure from the development plan.
