Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the locality
  • the effect on highway safety and local living conditions with particular regard for the level of parking provision proposed in conjunction with the houses

What decided it

The acceptance of the principle of housing development on the site, combined with the absence of demonstrable harm to character, appearance, highway safety or local amenity, and the delivery of benefits to sporting facilities through the planning obligation, justified allowing the appeal.

The benefits of housing delivery and improvement to sporting facilities outweighed the reduction in open aspect on the eastern side of Manor Road, which was largely inevitable given acceptance of the principle of development.
