Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Tarbock Green and Tarbock Village Conservation Areas
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future residents, with particular reference to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area combined with the failure to demonstrate acceptable living conditions for future residents in respect of noise and disturbance outweighed the limited benefits of the proposal.
The limited benefits of economic activity, housing supply contribution and environmental benefits were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the unacceptable living conditions for future residents due to noise and disturbance.
