Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effects of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring dwellings
  • The effects of the proposal on on-street parking provision

What decided it

The substantial harm to character and appearance, which carries considerable weight against the scheme, outweighs the socio-economic benefits of bringing a brownfield site back into use and providing student accommodation in a sustainable location.

The socio-economic benefits of student accommodation on a brownfield site in a sustainable location were outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance, with no harm to living conditions and parking being neutral rather than beneficial.
