Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal on the living conditions of the residential occupiers of 4 Cherrywood Avenue
- The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would cause unmitigable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents through noise and disturbance, and would harm the character and appearance of the area, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh that conflict.
The harm to neighbouring living conditions and character and appearance, together with the loss of housing in a constrained area, outweighed the limited economic benefits and the permitted development fallback position.
