Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the wider area
the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 3 and 24 Lagoon Road, and 1 The Capstans, with particular regard to outlook and privacy

What decided it

The cumulative harmful effects on character and appearance and on neighbours' living conditions, combined with conflict with the development plan policies, outweighed the modest private and economic benefits.

The private benefit of additional living accommodation and public benefit of economic growth at construction stage did not outweigh the identified harms and conflict with the development plan, which was ascribed substantial weight.

Plan policies cited: Policy PP27, Policy PP31, Policy PP1
