Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future residents with particular regard to functional outdoor space
- the effect of the proposal on biodiversity
- whether the development would be acceptable with respect to surface water drainage and flood risk
- the effect of the proposal on the provision of public open space
What decided it
The cumulative effect of harm to character and appearance, inadequate living conditions due to overshadowing of functional outdoor space, and unmitigated biodiversity net loss outweighed the housing supply benefits.
The social and economic benefits of nine additional dwellings in an accessible location would not outweigh the harms to character and appearance, living conditions, and biodiversity.
