Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether or not there would be sufficient outdoor amenity and play space of a suitable standard
- Whether or not the mix of units would be in accordance with the requirements of the local development plan
- The effect of the proposed development on flooding
What decided it
The proposed development conflicts with the development plan in respect of character and appearance, outdoor amenity space provision, and housing mix, and these conflicts are not outweighed by the benefit of 55 new dwellings.
The benefit of 55 new dwellings does not outweigh the conflict with the development plan in respect of character and appearance, outdoor amenity space provision, and housing mix
