Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal scheme would provide a suitable housing mix to meet identified needs
  • whether the appeal scheme represents good design, with particular regard to parking and outdoor amenity space

What decided it

The scheme's failure to provide a suitable housing mix to meet identified local housing needs, conflicting with Policies SPT2 and DEV8 of the JLP and Policy H2 of the eNP.

the limited additional public benefits of the appeal scheme (one extra affordable home and increased accessible homes) were not sufficient to outweigh the identified harm from the housing mix conflict and parking design shortcomings, so the appeal was dismissed
