Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 14 and 18 Broomfield Ride with particular regard to outlook
- whether the proposal would be an effective and efficient use of urban land, with particular regard to the proposed unit mix
What decided it
The proposal's design, layout and spacing would harmonise with the Crown Estate's established low-density character while making more efficient use of the land, and the exemption of the Crown Estate from minimum density requirements in Policy CS17 justified the large unit mix.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS10Policy CS17Policy CS19Policy DM2Design and Character Supplementary Planning Document (2012)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135Paragraph 128
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
