Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the appeal scheme on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of future occupiers related to pedestrian access into the building
  • the living conditions of future occupiers regarding the provision of private amenity space
  • whether or not adequate provision has been made in respect of parking restrictions

What decided it

The harm caused by the scheme's conflict with adopted policies on character, massing, amenity space and parking obligations significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and brownfield redevelopment when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
