Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether suitable living conditions would be provided for future occupiers, with particular regard to the quality of private amenity space
- whether sufficient information has been submitted with respect to land stability or any remediation measures
What decided it
The cumulative effect of significant harm to character and appearance, unsuitable living conditions for future occupiers, and inadequate land stability evidence substantially and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery.
The harm arising from the development, when considered collectively and given significant weight, substantially and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery and economic activity, assessed against the Framework policies taken as a whole under paragraph 11d.
