Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • whether the proposed development would fully optimise the site, with particular regard to the provision of housing

What decided it

The proposed development's high-quality design and scale would satisfactorily respond to the site's varied surroundings and positively contribute to the built environment, while optimising the brownfield site to provide a mix of housing units that accord with strategic housing policies.
