Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of existing occupiers of East Grange and West Grange with specific reference to privacy and amenity space
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers with specific reference to internal space
- The effect of the proposal on the setting of the Grade II listed East Grange and the character and appearance of the Newbottle Conservation Area and the area generally
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harmful effects on the living conditions of existing and future occupiers which would outweigh the limited benefits of housing supply and economic contribution.
