Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the wider area
the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of adjoining properties, with particular regard to outlook
the effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of future occupiers
the effect of the proposed development upon ecology and biodiversity

What decided it

The proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the wider area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through its height, bulk, proximity and the intensification of residential use, which conflicts with development plan policy and outweighs the limited housing benefits.

Framework references: 12

Plan policies cited: Policy LLP1, Policy LLP25, Policy LLP15, Policy LLP36, Policy LLP37

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
