Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of neighbours
the potential of the proposal to create a harmful environment that would increase the occurrence of crime or the fear of crime

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the mature suburb through the introduction of backland development with large-scale built form incompatible with the area's defining garden-led suburban character outweighed the moderate housing supply benefits.

the adverse impacts of granting planning permission, being significant harm to character and appearance, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of housing supply contribution, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: Policy PG3, Policy TP27, Policy DM2, Policy DM10

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
