Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character of the surrounding area
- the living conditions of occupiers of the property, with particular regard to internal living space and external amenity space
- car parking, highway and pedestrian safety
- whether the proposed development makes adequate provision for Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)
What decided it
The identified harm arising from the proposed development's effect on the character of the area, the living conditions of occupants and the safety of pedestrians would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
The benefits of employment during construction and providing additional units of accommodation in a sustainable location were outweighed by the identified harm to character, living conditions and pedestrian safety, which significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against Framework policies as a whole.
