Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the occupants of 1 Hillview Road with regard to light, outlook, and privacy
  • the provision of family housing

What decided it

The material harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbouring residents, and the provision of family housing significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of the scheme, particularly the provision of a single dwelling and short-term economic benefit.

The limited benefits of housing delivery and economic activity during construction were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by material harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours, and the provision of family housing, resulting in the planning balance being against the appeal scheme.
