Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The living conditions of the occupiers of 49 and 51 St Andrews Road, with particular regard to outlook, privacy, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The significant harm to character and appearance and the living conditions of adjacent occupiers, particularly outlook and privacy impacts, outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery in a location with constrained five-year supply.

The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and living conditions of adjacent occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery, economic and social benefits, and crime reduction.
