Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The main issue is whether the development constitutes good design, where the effects on the character and appearance of the street, and the living conditions of adjoining occupiers, are of particular relevance.
- The issue is whether the requirements of the notice are excessive.
- The issue is whether a compliance period of 3 months is reasonable and proportionate, having regard to the human rights of the appellants and their family.
What decided it
The as-built structure was found to be a new building causing unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the street and to neighbours' living conditions, which was not outweighed by the limited benefits even under the tilted balance.
Applying the tilted balance, the adverse impacts of approving the development would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework policies taken as a whole, so the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
