Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the development upon the living conditions of 12 Jackson Place, with particular reference to noise
What decided it
The proposed dwelling's rear location and lack of street frontage would be incongruous with the linear pattern of development in the area and would generate excessive noise affecting neighbouring living conditions, with no material considerations outweighing these conflicts with the development plan.
The benefits of housing delivery and economic support were outweighed by the adverse effects on character and appearance and the detrimental impact on neighbouring living conditions.
