Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of 20 Queen Street with regard to privacy, outlook and light and 9 Haigh Hall with regard to privacy
  • whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to the size of the dwelling and privacy

What decided it

The proposed development would cause significant harm to character and appearance, neighbouring residential amenity, and would fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to indicate otherwise.

No balancing exercise was undertaken; the development was found to conflict with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh the identified harms.

Plan policies cited: Policy DS1, Policy DS3, Policy DS5, Policy HO9
