Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the mix and balance of housing, with particular regard to the supply of family-sized dwellings
  • The living conditions of nearby residents with particular regard to noise, disturbance, waste generation and demand for parking

What decided it

The proposed development would result in the loss of a family dwelling in an area where the Council is seeking to promote family housing, contrary to the development plan, and this significant harm was not outweighed by other considerations.
