Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the approval for reserved matters on (a) the character and appearance of the area, having regard to design
  • the effects of the approval for reserved matters on (b) housing mix
  • the effects of the approval for reserved matters on (c) affordable housing integration and community cohesion, having regard to the relationship between affordable and market housing

What decided it

The Inspector concluded there would be no harm to the character and appearance of the area and no conflict with the development plan, with housing mix issues falling outside the legal scope of reserved matters.

There would be no harm to the character and appearance of the area and no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh accordance with the development plan, so approval for the reserved matters should be granted.
