Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby residential properties
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance, the failure to provide a high standard of amenity for existing and future occupiers, and potential harm to biodiversity interests significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
Under paragraph 11d of the Framework (due to the Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply), the harm caused to character and appearance, failure to provide high amenity standards for existing and future users, and potential biodiversity harm significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply and use of under-used land.
