Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area in terms of its design and waste and recycling provision
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties in relation to outlook and daylight
What decided it
The substantial adverse impacts on character and appearance and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery and economic growth when assessed against the Framework as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
The substantial adverse impacts on character and appearance and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of eight new residential units and economic contribution, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply despite the Council's housing land supply shortfall.
