Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the development proposed, having regard to the development plan
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including landscaping
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing occupiers of 1, 3 and 5 Cherry Tree Gardens, with regard to outlook
  • the effect of the proposed development on parking provision
  • whether the appeal scheme makes adequate provision for affordable housing

What decided it

The harm identified in respect of site location contrary to the settlement strategy, character and appearance of the area, and living conditions of existing occupiers was determinative and significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing supply.
