Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The impact of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed development, with particular reference to internal and external private living space
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the inadequate private outdoor living space for future occupiers substantially and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of housing supply and economic gains, particularly where the Council's housing land supply deficit is not acute and high design standards are a key aspect of sustainable development.
The adverse impacts of significant harm to character and appearance and living conditions substantially and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply contribution and economic gains; the conflict with the development plan is not outweighed by other considerations including the Framework.
