Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 116 Pampisford Road and 1-15 Montpelier Road, with regard to privacy and outlook

What decided it

The failure of the planning obligation to secure the delivery of affordable housing and other necessary infrastructure across the whole site due to the absence of all landowners as parties to the deed rendered the proposal unacceptable despite its compliance with development plan policies and absence of harm to character, appearance and living conditions.

The benefits of housing delivery were outweighed by the failure to secure important and necessary infrastructure, such that the adverse impacts of granting permission would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.
