Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Long Acre, with particular regard to privacy
- Whether the proposal would be a suitable form of development having regard to development plan policy in respect of replacement dwellings
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of adjacent occupiers through overlooking and loss of privacy, which would conflict with development plan policy and the Framework's requirement for high standards of amenity for existing users, outweighed the limited benefits of the scheme.
The significant harm to neighbouring living conditions and moderate conflict with replacement dwelling policy outweighed the limited benefits of a larger, more efficient home built to modern standards and minor biodiversity gains, resulting in adverse impacts that significantly and demonstrably outweighed benefits under the Framework.
