- minor · Planning Appeal
- Procedure

- Inspector
- Pattison B
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the future occupiers of the proposals would have acceptable living conditions
- In relation to Appeal B only, whether the proposal would be capable of achieving compliance with Building Regulation Requirement M4(2)
What decided it
Appeal A was allowed because the proposal would accord with the development plan and Framework; Appeal B was dismissed because the inadequate provision for M4(2) accessible accommodation would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the housing benefits under the tilted balance test.
Appeal B: the modest contribution to housing supply and efficient use of previously developed land were outweighed by the significant harm arising from failure to provide M4(2) compliant accessible accommodation, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
