Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for residential development
- whether the proposals preserve or enhance the setting, character or appearance of nearby heritage assets and the surrounding area
- whether the proposals provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers of the development with regards to indoor room space and outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The Inspector found no harm arising from the location, heritage or living-condition issues, so the scheme accorded with the development plan and no adverse impacts weighed against it.
The proposal was found to conflict with no development plan policies and no harms were identified; even assuming a shortfall in five-year housing land supply, the absence of any harm meant adverse impacts would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, so the balance favoured allowing the appeals.
