Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers
- The effect of the proposed development on housing needs
- The effect of the proposed development on parking provision and sustainable travel
What decided it
The substantial collective weight of harm to character and appearance, living conditions of future occupiers, and failure to meet housing needs significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefits of housing supply delivery.
The adverse impacts on character and appearance, living conditions of future occupiers and housing mix, taken collectively, attract substantial weight and significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits to housing land supply when assessed against the policies of the Framework as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
