Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No.5 Middle Deal Road with particular regard to an increased sense of enclosure
What decided it
The proposal would be poorly related to its context and would erode the character and appearance of the area, and this harm significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery under the tilted balance test.
The adverse impacts of granting permission (harm to character and appearance) significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits (four dwellings and economic benefit), when assessed against the NPPF taken as a whole under the tilted balance.
