Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide a suitable standard of accommodation for future occupiers, with regard to layout and access
What decided it
The cumulative adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and poor standard of accommodation for future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of nine new dwellings and affordable housing contributions when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The benefits of nine new residential units and modest off-site affordable housing contributions were outweighed by the substantial harms to character and appearance and the poor standard of accommodation for future occupiers, with the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
