Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on ecology, with particular regard to the adjoining Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) and Green Corridor
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal space standards
- Whether car parking arrangements would be adequate and safe
- Whether the proposal would provide a suitable location for housing with respect to its accessibility by public transport and the Council's strategy for housing redevelopment
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds—character and appearance, ecology, living conditions, and car parking—and there are no material considerations that would justify determination other than in accordance with the development plan.
