Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The main issue is the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
What decided it
The significant benefits of market and affordable housing delivery, in the context of a significant housing land supply shortfall, outweighed the limited harm to character and appearance and the less than substantial heritage harm identified.
The benefits of market and affordable housing delivery, employment floorspace and public realm improvements outweighed the limited harm to character and appearance and the less than substantial harm to the conservation area, such that adverse impacts did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
