Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties, with regard to outlook, and of the future occupants of the proposal with regard to light and privacy
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance and to living conditions of existing and future occupants, combined with the modest benefits of only two new homes, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The benefits of two new homes in an area with acknowledged housing land supply shortfall, on a previously developed site in an accessible location, with economic and environmental benefits, are significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and to living conditions of existing and future occupants.
