What decided it

The significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regards to outlook caused by the bulk and massing of the pitched roofs in their enclosing and overbearing relationship to adjacent gardens outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery.

The adverse impacts of the development, specifically significant harm to neighbouring living conditions regarding outlook, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the identified benefits of housing delivery on previously developed land in a sustainable location when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole.

Development plan policies: Policy 7 of the Local PlanPolicy 10 of the Local PlanPolicy 26 of the Local PlanPolicy DC61 of the CSDCP
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11
