Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal would provide for a satisfactory standard of accommodation for future occupiers of the proposed flats, with particular regard to outlook, light and external amenity space
- The effect of the development proposed on the Council's strategy for the supply of family housing
What decided it
The proposal failed on three independent grounds: harmful character and appearance impact, inadequate living standards for future occupiers, and failure to contribute to the identified need for family housing in the Borough.
