Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on character and appearance
  • the effect of the proposal on living conditions of existing occupiers with particular regard to privacy and outlook
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers by reason of noise and disturbance
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to the operation of waste service vehicles and deliveries
  • the effect of the development on protected species
  • whether the proposal would provide Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)
  • whether the proposed development would be provided with adequate means of drainage

What decided it

The cumulative significant harm to character and appearance, living conditions, highway safety and protected species was found to substantially outweigh the benefits of the scheme under Policy S4 of the Framework.

the substantial benefit of housing delivery, reduced-weight density benefits and economic benefits were substantially outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance, living conditions, highway safety and protected species, so the appeal was dismissed.
