Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development

What decided it

The amount of development proposed could not be adequately accommodated on the constrained site in a form that would preserve local distinctiveness and protect living conditions of future and neighbouring occupiers, contrary to Framework policies on design and amenity.

The significant contribution to housing supply from 6-9 dwellings was outweighed by the adverse effects on character and amenity, with the adverse effects significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits when Framework policies are taken as a whole.

Framework references: 11, 135

Plan policies cited: Policy TTV25, Policy SPT1, Policy SPT2, Policy TTV1, Policy TTV2
