Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, privacy, noise and disturbance
  • Whether the proposed development would prejudice the operation of nearby business premises
  • The effect of the proposed development on biodiversity
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
  • Whether the site would be an appropriate location for the proposed development, with particular regard to open space provision and the local development strategy

What decided it

The significant and unacceptable harm to character and appearance, living conditions of future occupiers, operation of nearby businesses, and biodiversity, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the proposal even if there were a substantial shortfall in housing supply.

The adverse impacts of the scheme regarding character and appearance, living conditions, business operations and biodiversity would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits from housing delivery, economic and social benefits, and re-use of previously developed land.
