Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would make an appropriate provision for affordable housing
What decided it
The substantial harm to character and appearance of the area, combined with the failure to secure affordable housing provision, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery in an area with a shortfall in five-year supply.
The moderate benefits of boosting housing supply and economic benefits were substantially outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance and the failure to make appropriate provision for affordable housing; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
