Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the proposal's effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The Inspector found that the scale, layout and massing of the proposed building were consistent with the varied built pattern of the surrounding area and would not harm the character and appearance of the locality or the setting of the locally listed Redwood House.
the loss of an employment use was outweighed by the benefits of redeveloping a soon-to-be-redundant brownfield site to address an under-supply of student housing in an appropriate, accessible location
