Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development upon highway safety
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with regard to privacy
- The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of existing occupiers with regard to outlook, noise and disturbance
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of existing occupiers at Nos 6 and 7 Chapel Close through loss of outlook and overbearing effects outweighed the benefits of brownfield redevelopment and housing provision.
The benefits of brownfield redevelopment and housing provision did not outweigh the significant harm to the living conditions of existing occupiers.
