Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Effect of the proposal on the primary economic function of the Vale Royal/Brewery Road Locally Significant Industrial Site (LSIS)
  • The character and appearance of the appeal property
  • The housing mix of the area
  • The living conditions of existing and future occupiers of the appeal property with particular regards to outlook, outdoor space and noise from adjacent businesses
  • Whether or not the appeal scheme makes appropriate provision for affordable housing

What decided it

The cumulative failure to provide an appropriate housing mix, adequate living conditions for occupiers (particularly regarding outdoor space and noise from the restaurant below), and proper affordable housing provision meant the scheme was contrary to the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this harm.
