Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety and neighbouring residential amenity with regard to parking provision, and whether the proposal would provide sufficient cycle storage and bin storage.

What decided it

The Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply, combined with the sustainable location of the site and the substantial benefits of housing delivery including affordable housing provision, outweighed the limited identified harms.

The substantial benefits of housing delivery and the provision of 6 affordable housing units and financial contributions towards green space, combined with the sustainable location and replacement of a derelict building with a well-designed scheme, substantially outweighed the relatively few identified harms, with no adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
