Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the location of the site is suitable for the proposed development
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 225 Oakington Manor Drive with regard to outlook
  • whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers with regards to ceiling height

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan by locating new housing in an area with very poor public transport accessibility (PTAL 0) and would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
