Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the existing housing stock, with particular regard to the effect on the availability of family dwellings and the effect on community character
- whether the proposal would be suitably located, with particular regard to relevant development plan policies concerning the location of development
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance, natural light, and outlook
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal would conflict with the development plan by reducing family housing availability, locating high-density housing outside the town centre, and failing to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers due to noise and disturbance, with these harms significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits under paragraph 11d of the Framework.
