Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the area in terms of their siting and bulk in relation to the street, size, design, materials, and scale
  • the effect of the proposals on the living conditions of the neighbouring residential occupiers
  • whether the proposals would provide acceptable living conditions for the occupiers of the flats

What decided it

The cumulative and substantial harm to the character and appearance of the street scene and to the living conditions of neighbouring and future occupiers outweighed the benefits of the proposals.

Significant weight was given to the benefits of boosting housing and affordable housing supply and design interest, but this was outweighed by substantial weight given to harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions, and significant weight given to harm to future occupiers' living conditions, resulting in conflict with the development plan and dismissal of both appeals.
