Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupants of Nos 15 and 17 Ashton Road, with particular regard to outlook/sense of enclosure, privacy and security
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupants of the proposed dwellings, with particular regard to outlook/sense of enclosure, privacy and security

What decided it

The cumulative harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of both existing and future occupants significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery, even under the tilted balance.

Even assuming a housing supply shortfall triggering the tilted balance, the adverse impacts of the proposed development would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefit of the proposal when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole
