Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the surroundings
- Whether satisfactory living conditions would be provided for future occupants of the dwellings
- The acceptability of car parking provision
- Whether satisfactory provision is made for a reduction in carbon emissions, sustainable drainage, and water efficiency
What decided it
The harmful effect on character and appearance combined with failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupants outweighed the contribution to housing supply.
The contribution to housing supply was balanced against harm to character and appearance and failure to meet living condition standards, with the latter considerations outweighing the housing benefit.
