Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would deliver an appropriate mix of housing
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers
- the effect of the proposal on parking and highway conditions
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, failure to provide appropriate housing mix and satisfactory living conditions, and adverse impact on parking and highway conditions meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan as a whole with no other considerations indicating a decision other than in accordance with the development plan.
