Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the future occupier of 26A Dunmow Drive, with regard to privacy, light and outlook

What decided it

The identified adverse impacts on character and appearance and living conditions would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.

the limited contribution to housing supply and social and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and living conditions of future occupiers
