Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on green infrastructure and biodiversity
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to sunlight and daylight
- Whether the proposed development would provide an adequate and safe access
- The effect of the proposed development on pedestrian and highway safety
What decided it
The cumulative effect of harm to character and appearance, unacceptable living conditions due to poor daylight and sunlight, and inadequate and unsafe access outweighs the very limited benefits of housing delivery.
The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance, poor living conditions and inadequate access significantly and demonstrably outweigh the very limited benefits of housing delivery, even applying the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d)(ii) of the Framework.
