Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be consistent with local policies relating to the location of new housing development, having regard to accessibility to public transport and local services
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers with regard to light, access to outdoor amenity space and fire safety
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the existing occupiers of 223 and 225 Oakington Manor Drive and 106 Victoria Avenue with regard to outlook and privacy
- The effect of the development on flood risk and biodiversity
What decided it
The proposal's location with a PTAL rating of 0 conflicts with Policy BH4's requirement to direct small housing developments to accessible locations with good public transport access, and this fundamental locational unsuitability cannot be overcome by the limited housing supply benefit.
