Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed developments on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effects on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers in respect of overlooking, outlook and loss of light
- Whether there would be noise and disturbance resulting from the use of the access to the parking area (Appeal B only)
- Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory accommodation for future residents (Appeal B only)
- Whether the proposal would provide a satisfactory mix of housing (Appeal A only)
What decided it
The scale, massing and design of both proposed developments would harm the character and appearance of the surrounding area and create unacceptably overbearing effects on neighbouring occupiers, contrary to development plan policies and national guidance requiring high quality design-led development.
