Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of occupiers at 103A and 105A High Street North, with particular regard to light and outlook
- whether the proposal encourages a sustainable mode of travel
What decided it
The significant adverse impact on the character and appearance of the area, which would substantially outweigh the limited housing and other benefits even in the context of the Council's housing supply shortfall.
The benefits of housing delivery and improved living conditions for existing occupiers were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
