Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring property with respect to outlook
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers of the property with respect to space
- Whether or not the proposed development would provide adequate refuse storage facilities
What decided it
The proposed development would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through excessive massing, significant harm to neighbouring outlook, failure to meet space standards for future occupiers, and inadequate refuse storage facilities.
The benefits of new dwellings were outweighed by the conflicts with local plan policies on character, appearance, neighbouring amenity, space standards and refuse storage.
