Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The substantial harm to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbours significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing provision, even in an area with insufficient housing supply.
The benefits of housing provision, economic benefits, and sustainable location carried considerable positive weight, but the substantial harm to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbours, which are perennial Framework requirements, significantly and demonstrably outweighed those benefits.
