Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area and the setting of a non-designated heritage asset
- The living conditions of potential future occupiers and those of the occupiers of 3 Park Hill with reference to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours through overlooking, and less than substantial harm to the non-designated heritage asset significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of providing a single dwelling, even when assessed under the tilted balance of paragraph 11d.
The harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and the significance of the non-designated heritage asset significantly and demonstrably outweighed the social and economic benefits of a single dwelling and small-site housing contribution, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
