Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site would be suitable for housing
  • whether satisfactory living conditions would be provided for future occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of nearby listed buildings and non-designated heritage assets

What decided it

The significant harm to the living conditions of future occupants from noise and disturbance, combined with conflict with the Neighbourhood Plan under paragraph 14, outweighed the limited benefits of the scheme.

The limited benefits of housing delivery, economic benefits, traffic diversion, acoustic barrier and flood risk/ecology compliance were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to future occupiers' living conditions and conflict with the Neighbourhood Plan under paragraph 14, when assessed against the Framework policies as a whole
