Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would provide an appropriate mix of housing
  • The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effects of the proposal on biodiversity
  • Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to private amenity space and noise and disturbance at plot nos. 5 and 6

What decided it

The proposal's failure to provide on-site affordable housing or a viability assessment, combined with harm to character and appearance and failure to demonstrate biodiversity net gain, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan taken as a whole.
