Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the integrity of the SAC
- the living conditions of the occupiers of 13 Pembroke Gardens
What decided it
The incomplete Unilateral Undertaking failed to secure mitigation for the likely significant adverse effect on the SAC integrity, which under Footnote 7 of the Framework provides a clear reason for refusing the development despite the absence of a 5-year housing land supply.
The small contribution to housing supply and sustainable location were outweighed by the clear reason for refusal provided by the likely significant adverse effect on the SAC integrity under Footnote 7 of the Framework, which disapplied the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
