Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupiers with regard to private outdoor amenity space, safety and security and access
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety and the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to parking and servicing

What decided it

The benefits of the proposal would be substantially outweighed by the adverse effects arising from harm to living conditions, highway safety and the character and appearance of the area, with Policy S4 of the Framework weighing against granting permission.

The modest benefits of boosting housing supply, making better use of land and supporting town centre vitality were substantially outweighed by the significant harm to living conditions, highway safety and the character and appearance of the area.
