Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
the living conditions of occupiers of adjacent properties with specific regard to enclosure, light and outlook
the living conditions of future occupiers of the appeal site with specific regard to the lack of outdoor amenity space
the supply of family housing in the area
parking pressure in the area

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with development plan policies on character and appearance, living conditions, amenity space and family housing supply, and policy support for new housing does not outweigh these specific harms.

Policy support for new housing in the Borough and City does not outweigh the specific harms identified in relation to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours and future occupiers, amenity space provision, and family housing supply.
