Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is acceptable in land use terms, paying regard to housing need.
- The effect on the living conditions of occupiers of surrounding properties and users of amenity spaces.
What decided it
The Inspector concluded that, despite limited policy conflicts, the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole, particularly satisfying the identified need for PBSA and delivering acceptable living condition effects, triggering approval under paragraph 11 of the Framework.
The substantial benefits of brownfield housing delivery, affordable housing provision and meeting identified PBSA need outweighed the moderate conflict with Policy H15 and significant conflict with Policy LP27, resulting in overall accordance with the development plan and a decision to approve.
