Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 3 Anson Close and future occupiers of the proposed bungalow with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings with particular regard to privacy
- whether or not the proposal would provide adequate refuse storage
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to character and appearance, living conditions through noise and disturbance, privacy loss, and inadequate refuse storage arrangements, which collectively outweighed the modest housing benefits.
the modest benefits of housing delivery and sustainable location were insufficient to outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance, living conditions, and the conflict with the development plan
