Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regard to its conservation area location
- the living conditions of the occupants of Nos 9 and 11 Canons Drive with particular regard to overlooking and outlook
- whether the appeal site would provide a suitable location for housing
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, the unacceptable impact on neighbouring living conditions, and the conflict with the Council's spatial strategy for directing residential development to appropriate locations collectively outweighed the limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
The limited benefits of providing a family-sized dwelling and modest economic contribution were outweighed by significant harm to the conservation area's character and appearance, unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions, and conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy.
