Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including trees
- The effect of the proposal on flood risk in the area
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupants of the dwellings, having regard to internal space and private outside space
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety in Berrington Mews and the wider area
What decided it
The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance, inadequate living conditions regarding private outside space, and uncertain flood risk significantly and demonstrably outweighed the small benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution.
The benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance, inadequate private outside space for future occupants, and uncertain flood risk management.
