Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect that the proposed development would have on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the living conditions of the future occupiers, regarding outlook and access

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of future occupiers, particularly the substandard and unsafe access arrangements and oppressive outlook, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery in an area where the Council could not demonstrate a five-year supply.

the significant and demonstrable harm identified in the main issues outweighed the benefits of 2 new homes and jobs during construction, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: Policy DM2, Policy DM5, Policy SP3, Policy DM1
