Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Affordable housing, local health services and open space
  • Parking provision, highway capacity and safety
  • Character and appearance
  • Drainage and flood risk
  • Living conditions of nearby occupiers, with particular regard to privacy and construction disturbance

What decided it

The cumulative harm from inadequate affordable housing/health service provision, unjustified departure from parking standards affecting highway safety, and harm to character and appearance outweighed the benefits of the scheme.

The benefits of housing delivery, specialist elderly accommodation and other social/economic/environmental benefits did not outweigh the harm found in relation to affordable housing and health service provision, parking and highway safety, and character and appearance.
