Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to light and overlooking, and of existing occupiers of neighbouring dwellings with particular regard to overlooking
- Highway safety with particular regard to parking provision
- Whether the development would accord with local policies and national guidance with regard to flood risk
What decided it
The development would cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance, living conditions, and highway safety, and would fail to properly address flood risk through the Sequential Test, with these harms significantly and demonstrably outweighing the housing and regeneration benefits.
