Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether this is a suitable location for self-contained letting accommodation having regard to the development plan
  • whether the proposal provides satisfactory living conditions for occupiers
  • whether the development secures an appropriate contribution towards the provision of trees
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan in relation to location, living conditions for future occupiers, and tree planting contributions, and material considerations do not indicate the appeal should be decided otherwise than in accordance with the development plan.
