Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the proposals upon the character and appearance of the area and to the significance of a Non Designated Heritage Asset nearby
What decided it
The substantial and enduring harm to the character and appearance of the area and the overbearing impact on neighbouring properties along St Mary's Road, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefit of five additional dwellings despite the Council's housing delivery shortfall.
The benefits of housing delivery were outweighed by the substantial and enduring harm to character and appearance and the harmful effect on neighbouring living conditions, which would undermine the long-term sustainability of the development
