Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including on the significance of the nearby Oxford Gardens – St Quintin Conservation Area (the CA), a designated heritage asset, through development within its setting
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to privacy, outlook, daylight, sunlight, noise and disturbance
- whether the proposed development would make an appropriate contribution toward highway improvements, carbon off-setting, air quality, tree planting, car-free housing, employment and skills, local procurement strategy, monitoring of energy demand and public art
What decided it
The completion of a unilateral undertaking securing the necessary planning obligations, combined with the acceptable design and layout that would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions or the conservation area setting, allowed the appeal to be determined in accordance with the development plan.
The benefits of delivering seven residential units on suitable brownfield land within a settlement, contributing to housing supply where delivery was substantially below requirement, and providing mixed-use regeneration of an underutilised employment site, outweighed the minor change in scale and character of the site, which was acceptable in context and mitigated by design.
