Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal represents an appropriate design for the area
  • The effect of the proposal on highway, pedestrian and cyclist safety
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby dwellings, with particular regard to visual impact

What decided it

The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area resulting from the site layout, building design, highway and pedestrian safety deficiencies, and the oppressive outlook from acoustic fences significantly undermined the regeneration efforts and outweighed the socio-economic benefits.
