- Procedure

- Inspector
- Clarke B
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for the future occupiers of the development
- whether appropriate garden space would be provided for occupiers of the development
What decided it
The proposed development would conflict with the development plan by causing adverse effects on character and appearance and failing to provide appropriate living conditions and garden space, with no material considerations indicating the decision should be made otherwise.
The benefits of housing delivery were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance of the surrounding area and the lack of appropriate living conditions and garden space for future occupiers.
