Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the occupants of the proposed dwelling, the occupants of the flats at 91 Whitta Road, and adjacent occupiers, would experience satisfactory living conditions
- the effect of the proposal on the safety and convenience of highway users, with particular regard to waste collection arrangements
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance combined with the overbearing impact on neighbouring living conditions outweighed the moderate benefit of delivering a single dwelling in a sustainable location.
The scheme's moderate benefits in delivering housing in a sustainable location would not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance and the harmful overbearing impact on neighbouring occupants' living conditions.
