Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Effects on the character and appearance of the surroundings
  • Whether acceptable living conditions would be created for future occupants
  • Whether satisfactory provision is made for a reduction in carbon emissions, sustainable drainage, and water efficiency

What decided it

The proposal would conflict with the development plan due to harmful effects on character and appearance and failure to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, which outweighed the benefits of housing delivery on a brownfield site.
