Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to loss of outlook and overlooking
  • The living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to external space, access and fire safety
  • Trees
  • Biodiversity
  • Sustainable transport

What decided it

The cumulative harm to character and appearance, neighbour amenity, future occupier living conditions, trees and biodiversity, combined with inadequate sustainable transport provision, substantially outweighed the benefits of housing supply.
