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 proposal on the supply of small family homes in the Borough
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to the provision of external amenity space
- the effect of the proposal on parking provision and highway safety
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three material grounds—character and appearance harm, loss of family housing, and inadequate amenity space for future residents—which together attract considerable weight and are not outweighed by the limited housing delivery benefits.
