Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of neighbouring properties, having regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The extant planning permissions for backland residential development at the site established both the principle of development and a realistic fallback position against which the current proposal could be assessed, demonstrating that the proposed scheme would not result in unacceptable harm to character, appearance, or neighbouring living conditions.
