Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents in Willersey Road, with particular regard to outlook
- Whether the proposal makes suitable provision for parking
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of neighbouring residents, which substantially and demonstrably outweighed the moderate housing supply benefits, meant the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
The substantial weight given to the use of brownfield sites for housing was significantly countered by the substantial harm to local character and the failure to ensure high standards of amenity for existing users, resulting in the adverse impacts substantially and demonstrably outweighing the benefits
