Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on biodiversity
- Whether the proposal would be acceptable in terms of carbon emissions, sustainable drainage and water efficiency, having regard to development plan policies
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 241 and 243 Church Hill Road, with particular reference to potential for noise and disturbance
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, unacceptable biodiversity effects, and inadequate sustainable drainage measures, which together outweighed the limited housing and economic benefits of the scheme.
