Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is an appropriate location for residential development taking into consideration its effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal complies with the development plan, particularly Policy H1(vii) requiring redundant buildings to be brought into residential use and enhance their immediate surroundings, which the sensitive conversion achieves through reuse of existing buildings with minimal visual change.
Not applicable; the proposal was found to accord with the development plan, so the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11(d) was not engaged.
Framework references: 11, 14
Plan policies cited: Policy H1, Policy H16, Policy DES1, Policy DES2, Policy ENV1, Policy H8, Policy TOW1, Policy TOW4
