Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants of plot 3, with particular regard to private amenity space
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance and the unacceptable living conditions for future occupants of plot 3, particularly the poor quality private amenity space, outweighed the limited benefit of housing delivery in circumstances where the Council can demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
The harm to character and appearance and unacceptable living conditions for future occupants attracted considerable weight, while housing delivery attracted only limited weight and other matters neutral weight, with the harms not outweighed by the benefits.
