Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including its effects on the significance or setting of designated heritage assets
- Whether or not the development would make an appropriate provision for affordable housing
- Whether the proposed dwelling would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to private amenity space
- Whether sufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the proposed basement development would not compromise the water environment or biodiversity in the local area
- The effect of the proposed development on trees
- Whether the proposed arrangements for the storage of refuse would conflict with pedestrians and vehicles passing the site
What decided it
The development would conflict with the development plan on affordable housing, living conditions, and environmental protection, and these considerable harms outweighed the moderate benefit of providing additional housing.
