Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site is suitable for the proposed development, having regard to relevant policies for the location of housing and the Council's spatial strategy
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers with specific regard to internal living space
  • the effect of the proposal on flood risk

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three substantive grounds—site suitability, character and appearance, and living space standards—and material considerations do not indicate the appeal should be decided otherwise.
