Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to noise
- whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for new housing having regard to accessibility to local services and facilities
- the effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area with specific regard to its design, the St Andrew's Dock Conservation Area and a locally listed building
- whether the proposed development would result in the unacceptable loss of employment land
- whether the proposed development would make acceptable provision for open space and trees
What decided it
The cumulative conflict with the development plan arising from unacceptable living conditions due to noise, unsuitability of location due to poor accessibility, and unjustified harm to the conservation area and locally listed building outweighed any material considerations.
The benefits of housing delivery and removal of a derelict building did not outweigh the less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area and locally listed building, given the weight to be attached to heritage conservation and the failure to demonstrate that demolition was necessary.
