Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the scheme would provide acceptable living conditions for its occupants, with particular reference to outlook and natural light

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance and the poor quality of future living conditions were sufficient to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of delivering 3 new homes in a context of acute housing shortfall.

The benefits of delivering 3 new homes in a context of acute housing shortfall were outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and concerns over the quality of future living conditions.
