Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed development would be acceptable, with particular regard to the relationship of outdoor space with trees
  • whether the site is an appropriate location for the appeal proposal, with particular regard to the local development strategy

What decided it

The specific characteristics of the appeal site regarding its relationship to existing residential properties and services and facilities meant that the benefits of housing delivery and support from paragraph 83 of the Framework clearly outweighed the conflict with the development plan spatial strategy policies.

the benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits, supported by paragraph 83 of the Framework, clearly outweighed the conflict with the development plan spatial strategy policies, given the site's relationship to existing residential properties and services and facilities
