Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether or not living conditions for future occupiers of the development would be acceptable with particular regard to outlook, light and the provision of external private amenity space
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupiers, particularly the shortfall in private amenity space and poor outlook for basement rooms, outweighed the modest housing benefits.
The modest benefits of delivering 5 new dwellings on a previously developed site were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers.
