Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area
- The living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties, with particular regard to outlook and privacy; and whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, privacy and private amenity space
- Whether or not the proposal would make appropriate provision for affordable housing
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing impacts on outlook outweighed the modest housing supply benefits and the considerable weight afforded to the affordable housing contribution.
The benefits of housing supply and affordable housing contribution were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the material harm to neighbouring occupiers' living conditions regarding outlook.
