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 neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- Whether the proposal would provide appropriate car parking provision and adequate access, with particular regard to accessible and inclusive design
- The effect of the proposal on protected species, with particular regard to bats
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance combined with harm to neighbouring living conditions, inadequate accessible design of access arrangements, and unresolved concerns regarding protected species collectively outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery on a windfall site.
