Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring residential properties with specific regard to outlook
- whether or not future residents would be exposed to unacceptable air quality
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbouring residents, and the absence of an air quality assessment demonstrating that future occupants would not be exposed to unacceptable air quality collectively outweighed the benefit of housing growth.
The benefit of housing growth, attributed significant weight, was outweighed by the collective significant weight of harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbouring residents, and the lack of sufficient air quality assessment.
