Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal upon highway safety
- whether or not the proposal would make adequate provision for affordable housing
What decided it
The significant, unmitigated harm to character and appearance combined with highway safety harm from an unsecured Traffic Regulation Order significantly and demonstrably outweighed the scheme's benefits under the tilted balance.
The significant weight attributable to the scheme's housing, economic, brownfield and social benefits was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the high order harm to character and appearance and the harm to highway safety, so the appeal was dismissed despite the tilted balance applying.
