Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with respect to outlook and overbearing impact and noise and disturbance
  • Whether suitable and safe access would be provided
  • The suitability of the proposal with respect to flood risk
  • The effect on existing trees

What decided it

The cumulative harm to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, highway safety, flood risk and trees, taken together, was not outweighed by the limited benefits of brownfield reuse and modest economic gains, resulting in conflict with the development plan.
