Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and on the setting of the Grade II listed Hook House
  • The quality of living conditions for future users with particular regard to noise and refuse
  • The effect on biodiversity

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the setting of the Grade II listed building, combined with failures to demonstrate acceptable living conditions and adequate biodiversity surveys, meant the modest public benefits could not justify the proposal.
