Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of existing and future occupants
  • The effect of the development on the integrity and ecological value of international designated sites
  • The provision of affordable housing

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the four-storey building's height and bulk in close proximity to adjacent two-storey properties outweighs the benefits of housing delivery and economic gain when assessed against the Framework as a whole.

The modest benefits of housing delivery, affordable housing contribution and economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance of the area and the street scene.
