Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed building's poor relationship with Bridge Drive, turning its back on that road and creating visual and physical disconnection, would result in harm to character and appearance that significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited housing benefits, even under the tilted balance.
The modest housing benefit of 6 units was outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance caused by the building's disconnected relationship with Bridge Drive, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
