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 21 Great Tattenhams, with particular regard to outlook and a sense of enclosure
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the scale, bulk and prominence of the proposed development conflicting with development plan policies and NPPF requirements for well-designed places was not outweighed by the moderate benefits of housing supply and economic gains.
