Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The living conditions of future occupiers of proposed Houses 1 and 2, and approved Units 2 and 3, in respect of external space and privacy

What decided it

The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and brownfield reuse.

The benefits of housing supply and brownfield reuse were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and living conditions of future and neighbouring occupiers.
