Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the future occupiers of the appeal scheme, with particular regard to fume emissions from the adjacent launderette

What decided it

The failure to satisfactorily demonstrate that the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers with regard to fume emissions from the adjacent launderette.

The modest benefits of housing delivery, economic benefits from construction and occupation, and a financial contribution towards affordable housing do not outweigh the harm to living conditions of future occupiers; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.

Framework references: 11, 135, 73, 8
