Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether adequate living conditions would be provided for occupiers of the proposed development
- Whether the proposed development would make appropriate provision for cycle parking and refuse storage
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance, combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupiers and absence of reasonably required cycle parking and refuse storage facilities, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the housing supply and economic benefits of the scheme.
The benefits of housing delivery and economic gains were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to character and appearance, inadequate living conditions for future occupiers, and absence of reasonably required facilities.
