Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of future residents
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance and living conditions of future residents significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of housing delivery, particularly given the failure to safeguard or improve the environment or ensure healthy living conditions.
The modest housing and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and living conditions of future residents; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole
