Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, sunlight, noise and disturbance
What decided it
The significant and unacceptable adverse impacts on character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery despite the shortfall in five-year housing land supply.
The modest contribution to housing delivery and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant adverse impacts on character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions, such that the proposal does not constitute sustainable development.
