Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 3 to 5 Salisbury Avenue with particular regard to privacy and outlook
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to private external space and the amount of daylight reaching the ground floor rear windows
What decided it
The harmful effects on character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, and future occupier amenity, combined with the absence of any five-year housing supply shortfall or affordable housing provision, mean the limited housing supply benefits do not outweigh the identified harms.
The modest housing supply benefits of a town centre location were outweighed by the harmful effects on character and appearance, neighbouring amenity, and future occupier living conditions, resulting in a conclusion that the proposal would not amount to sustainable development.
