Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the public open spaces would be functional and accessible
What decided it
The extant planning permission for 107 dwellings on the site represented a realistic fallback position that made the additional 28 units acceptable in principle, combined with the scheme's compliance with development plan policies on character, design and housing delivery.
The social and economic benefits of providing a significant number and mix of new dwellings, including affordable homes and employment opportunities, outweighed any concerns, with no adverse impacts that would significantly and demonstrably outweigh these benefits.
