Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development proposed having particular regard to the development plan's policies relating to tall buildings, including considering the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area.
What decided it
The appeal site is not a suitable location for a tall building as it falls outside the identified strategic locations in Policy CS5, and the proposal would fail to integrate with the existing urban fabric and harm the character and appearance of the area.
The significant benefits of 51 new energy-efficient homes, brownfield redevelopment, and improved living conditions for existing occupants do not outweigh the harm caused by the tall building in an unsuitable location and its harmful effect on character and appearance.
