Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The harmful effect on living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and the character and appearance of the area, which would not be outweighed by the limited housing and economic benefits of the scheme.
The limited economic and social benefits from housing delivery, new homes of high demand, future occupier vitality and local construction employment were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of harm to neighbouring living conditions and character and appearance.
