Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupiers of the proposed dwelling with regard to outlook and garden area
What decided it
The unacceptable loss of privacy to the residents of Rowan House from the elevated position and extensive glazing of the proposed dwelling outweighed the minimal housing benefits and compliance with other policy considerations.
The limited benefits of an additional dwelling did not outweigh the conflict with the development plan arising from harm to neighbouring living conditions.
