Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is acceptable in relation to its backland siting
- the impact of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of the host building in relation to retained amenity space provision and privacy
- the effect of the proposal's scale and design on the character and appearance of the area
- the impacts on the living conditions of occupiers of adjoining dwellings
What decided it
The scale and design of the building in its backland context would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area that outweighs the benefits of housing provision.
The benefits of housing provision for one dwelling would be outweighed by the significant adverse impacts on character and appearance arising from the scale and design of the building, which would have an unfortunate adverse impact on the area for the lifetime of the development.
