Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of residents of York Close with regard to noise, disturbance and character
  • Other considerations relevant to the planning balance

What decided it

The substantial and disproportionate harm to the living conditions of residents at the head of York Close from noise and disturbance caused by the proposed access arrangements.

The substantial weight given to the housing and affordable housing benefits was outweighed by the harm to the living conditions of residents near the access, such that adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
