Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, particularly the appeal site part of Vere Road
What decided it
The substantial shortfall in five-year housing land supply and the provision of dwellings of much-needed size in an accessible location outweighed the limited material harm to character and appearance when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
The limited adverse impacts on character and appearance did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery in a sustainable location when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole, with particular regard to directing development to sustainable locations and making effective use of land.
