Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the setting of the designated conservation area
- the living conditions of future occupiers
- whether the proposed housing mix is appropriate for this location
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the conservation area, combined with the poor standard of amenity for future occupiers, could not be outweighed by the limited housing and economic benefits given the Council's substantial 5-year housing land supply.
The limited housing and economic benefits of the proposal were insufficient to outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of the area, the setting of the conservation area, and the poor standard of amenity for future occupiers.
