Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether or not the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers
  • whether or not the proposal would comply with the development plan in respect of carbon emissions
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • whether or not the proposal would provide an adequate level of biodiversity net gain (BNG)
  • whether or not the proposal would provide satisfactory surface water drainage arrangements
  • whether or not the proposal would comply with the development plan in respect of parking provision

What decided it

The proposal would result in permanent harm to the character and appearance of the area and fail to provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers and neighbouring occupiers, conflicting with the development plan when read as a whole with no material considerations to outweigh that conflict.
