Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to access and outlook
- whether the proposal would make an appropriate financial contribution towards affordable housing and carbon offsetting and secure car-free housing
- whether the proposal would encourage sustainable transport
What decided it
The proposed development would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the local area through its incompatibility with the prevailing pattern of development and would not provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, which together with the failure to secure necessary planning obligations and encourage sustainable transport, outweighed any benefits.
