Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to light, outlook, and noise and disturbance
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers with regard to internal and external space provision, and noise and disturbance
  • Whether the proposal would provide adequate environmental conditions
  • Whether a planning obligation is required with regard to the promotion of sustainable transport, highways works, and ensuring the development is car free

What decided it

The cumulative harm identified across character and appearance, neighbouring amenity, future occupier living conditions, environmental conditions, and the absence of a required planning obligation for sustainable transport meant the proposal failed to accord with the development plan when taken as a whole.
