Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupants with particular regard to a sense of enclosure, overbearing impact and outlook, overshadowing and overlooking
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable harm to character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions outweighed the moderate benefits of housing supply and site accessibility when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The moderate benefits of providing four houses and the site's accessible location were outweighed by the significant and demonstrable harm to character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions, such that the proposal would not constitute sustainable development under paragraph 11(d)(ii) of the Framework.
