Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties on Longstone Avenue, with particular regard to sunlight and outlook
- Whether the proposed access arrangements would be safe and suitable for future users, including emergency service vehicles
- Whether the development would make adequate provision for affordable housing
- Whether the development would achieve sufficient biodiversity net gains
What decided it
The harmful effects on neighbouring living conditions through loss of sunlight and outlook, combined with unsafe and unsuitable access arrangements for emergency vehicles and other users, and failure to secure affordable housing provision, collectively outweighed the benefits of housing supply and brownfield redevelopment.
