Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether it would provide an appropriate housing mix
- whether it would provide suitable living conditions for future residents
- its effect on biodiversity and trees
- the effect on air quality
- the effect on living conditions at adjoining residences at 14 Great Central Avenue
What decided it
The proposal's conflicts with multiple development plan policies regarding character and appearance, housing mix, living conditions, biodiversity and air quality significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
the harm resulting from policy conflicts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of the scheme, including modest housing contribution and good access to services and transport
