Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether satisfactory living conditions would be achieved for future residents, with particular regard to noise
- whether adequate open space would be provided
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal failed to demonstrate satisfactory living conditions for future residents due to insufficient noise impact information and failed to provide the required level of open space provision under Policy MD2.
The moderate benefits of housing supply and economic activity were outweighed by the significant harm arising from inadequate living conditions and failure to provide required open space.
Plan policies cited: Policy CS6, Policy CS17, Policy MD2, Policy MD13
