Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and the design quality of the proposed development
- The adequacy of the proposed highway access
- Whether sufficient and satisfactory provision would be made for local infrastructure, including public transport infrastructure
What decided it
The proposed development would make effective use of a significantly underused site within an established sustainable urban area, achieving good design standards without overdevelopment or undue harm to character, appearance or neighbours, and would make a useful contribution to housing supply in a preferred location.
The benefits of housing delivery and effective use of an underused site in a sustainable location outweighed the inevitable change to the character of the area.
