Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- provision of open space
- living conditions of occupiers on Garden Road and Golf Green Road with particular regard to privacy, overshadowing, and light
- European protected sites
What decided it
The serious harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, and loss of protected open space significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate benefits of housing supply and economic benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The moderate benefits of housing supply, economic benefits and social benefits from nine dwellings were outweighed by the serious harm to character and appearance, living conditions of adjoining occupiers, and loss of protected open space, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
