Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the development secures a good standard of quality accommodation for future occupiers
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours, and the failure to provide good quality accommodation for future occupiers outweighs the benefits of housing supply when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The benefits of housing supply in a sustainable location and more effective use of the building were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, and failure to meet standards for future occupier accommodation.
