Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the design of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposal would provide sufficient on-site car and cycle parking and whether there would be any consequential effects on highway and pedestrian safety
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, enclosure, privacy and overshadowing; and whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and amenity space

What decided it

The substantial benefits of delivering specialist older persons' housing on a sustainable brownfield site, in the context of no identified harm outweighing them and no 5-year housing land supply, tipped the planning balance in favour of the scheme.
