Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
  • the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at Nos. 12 and 16 Sutherland Road, with regard to outlook and privacy

What decided it

The significant adverse effects on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers outweighed the benefit of providing new housing on previously developed land.

The benefits of new housing on previously developed land were outweighed by significant harms to character and appearance and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
