Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development having regard to the need to protect the Borough's stock of smaller family houses and access to town centre facilities
- the effect of the development on living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties, with particular reference to disturbance
What decided it
The development conflicts with Policy SC10 of the Local Plan in respect of both the minimum floor area requirement and access to town centre facilities, and these policy breaches are not outweighed by the benefits of affordable accommodation or the satisfactory management of disturbance impacts.
