Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the supply of family housing
- whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to amenity space, privacy, and outlook
- whether the construction and servicing of the development would have an adverse effect on highway safety, the free flow of traffic, and the logistics of nearby construction sites
What decided it
The very significant harm to the appearance of the area caused by the size, prominence and lack of architectural coherence of the large rear central section and dormer outweighed the substantial benefits of increased housing supply and economic benefits.
