Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for existing and future occupiers of the accommodation with specific regard to private garden space and privacy

What decided it

The substantial loss of private garden space to both existing and future occupiers, combined with the harm to character and appearance from extensive hardstanding and hedge removal, outweighed any benefits of the development.

Plan policies cited: Policy LP16, Policy LP2

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
