Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed residential use is appropriate within the area surrounding the appeal site

What decided it

The benefits of providing additional housing accommodation and making more efficient use of an existing building within a sustainable location were not substantially outweighed by the localised harm to residential character, applying Policy S4 of the Framework.

The moderate negative weight afforded to the harm to residential character and conflict with the development plan was not substantially outweighed by the moderate positive weight afforded to the benefits of additional housing provision and efficient use of land, such that the proposal accords with Policy S4.
