Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal provides acceptable living conditions for future occupiers
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including heritage assets
  • Whether the proposal would deliver biodiversity enhancement and prevent harm to protected species

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds—unacceptable living conditions for vulnerable young occupants, harmful impact on the conservation area and heritage asset, and failure to comply with statutory biodiversity net gain requirements—with no material considerations to outweigh these conflicts.
