Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development proposed on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 81 Culvers Way, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, particularly the loss of outlook, could not be justified by the limited housing and economic benefits of the modest development.
the limited benefits of providing an additional dwelling and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions
