Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposal having regard to development plan policies and other material considerations, including housing land supply
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether the proposal makes appropriate provision for affordable housing and other developer contributions to satisfactorily mitigate its effects
What decided it
The proposal's conflict with the development plan's locational policies, combined with significant harm to character and appearance and the absence of a mechanism to secure affordable housing and necessary developer contributions, outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery.
The benefits of new housing and economic benefits during construction and from future occupiers weighed moderately in favour, but were substantially outweighed by the conflict with the plan-led approach to housing location, significant harm to character and appearance, and the absence of secured affordable housing and developer contributions.
