Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether satisfactory living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the proposed development, with regard to outdoor amenity space
  • whether the proposed development provides an appropriate housing mix

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three material grounds—character and appearance, living conditions, and housing mix—and these conflicts are not outweighed by the aspiration for environmental sustainability or the general support for housing windfall sites.
