Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed dwelling on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed dwelling on the living conditions of existing occupiers, with regard to privacy and outlook
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance and the unacceptable loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers at 6 Hornchurch Close significantly and demonstrably outweighed the housing and sustainability benefits.
The benefits of housing delivery and the sustainable location were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the material harm to the living conditions of existing occupiers through overlooking and loss of privacy.
