Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to internal space and outlook
  • the effect of the development on highway and pedestrian safety
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The unacceptable living conditions caused by insufficient internal space and poor outlook, combined with harm to highway and pedestrian safety, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefit when assessed against the Framework.

The adverse impacts arising from unacceptable living conditions and harm to highway and pedestrian safety significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
