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 the future occupiers of units 2 and 3, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
  • biodiversity

What decided it

The very significant weight given to the adverse impacts on character and appearance, living conditions, and biodiversity, which collectively outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery despite the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.

The modest benefits of housing delivery and efficient land use were outweighed by very significant adverse impacts on character and appearance, living conditions, and biodiversity, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
