Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Mare Street Conservation Area

- Whether the proposed development would provide an appropriate mix of dwellings, with specific regard to the need for family housing in the borough
- Whether the proposed development would make adequate provision for affordable housing
- Whether the proposed development would make adequate provision towards carbon offsetting
What decided it
The failure to provide acceptable living conditions due to insufficient internal floor area, combined with non-compliance with affordable housing and carbon offsetting requirements, outweighed the benefits of housing delivery.
