Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Whether the proposal would provide an acceptable housing mix
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to existing occupiers' living conditions combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupiers and failure to provide the required housing mix outweighed any benefits of additional housing delivery.
The benefits of providing additional housing on an urban site with good transport links were outweighed by significant harm to existing occupiers' living conditions, unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers, and failure to provide the required housing mix.
