Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the development on the living conditions of occupants of 5 Tamar Close in relation to outlook, and of 21 Hamble Gardens in relation to privacy and noise and disturbance
- the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The unacceptably harmful effect on the living conditions of occupants of No 5 Tamar Close through overbearing outlook, which substantially outweighs the limited housing benefits in the planning balance.
The limited social, economic and environmental benefits of providing a single additional dwelling were substantially outweighed by the unacceptably adverse effect on the living conditions of occupants of No 5, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
