Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether satisfactory accommodation would be provided for future occupiers of the scheme, with particular regard to proposed units 13, 26 and 39
  • the effect of the proposed development on the Lower Ouseburn Valley Conservation Area, particularly through scale and massing of the proposed development, and the demolition of a locally listed building

What decided it

The significant harm to the living conditions of future occupiers of Units 13, 26 and 39 arising from inadequate daylight levels.

the public benefits of the scheme were found to outweigh the less than substantial heritage harm from loss of the locally listed Pigeon Cree, but these benefits did not outweigh the significant harm identified to the living conditions of future occupiers, so the balance tipped against the proposal overall
