Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is suitable for housing, having regard to the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposed development on parking provision and highway safety
- the effect of the proposed development on trees and biodiversity
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area combined with harm to neighbours' living conditions from noise and disturbance outweighed the benefits of the scheme.
the moderate social and economic benefits of the scheme, including boosting housing supply, did not outweigh the harm identified to character and appearance and to neighbours' living conditions
