Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of future occupiers
- the highway network
What decided it
The identified harms to character and appearance, living conditions of future occupiers, and highway safety collectively outweigh the benefits of housing delivery in the context of a shortfall in five-year housing land supply.
The benefits of providing a new home in a sustainable location with economic benefits during construction were outweighed by the harm to character and appearance, inadequate living conditions for future occupiers, and harm to highway safety.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy H14 of the Sheffield Unitary Development Plan (1998)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 209
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
