Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of residents with regards to amenity space
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the bulk, massing and projection of the extension, combined with inadequate amenity space for the proposed 2-bedroom flat, outweighed the limited housing supply benefits even under the tilted balance.
the adverse impacts of the development would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the identified benefits when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole
Framework references: 11
