Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties in respect of outlook, privacy, light, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The very significant harm to character and appearance of the area caused by intensive built development in a spacious, green setting was not outweighed by the moderate benefits of delivering three dwellings when the Housing Delivery Test had not been met.

The very significant harm to character and appearance and harm to living conditions of No 34 Waggon Road were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the moderate benefits of delivering three dwellings in an area where the Housing Delivery Test had not been met.
