Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide a suitable living environment for future occupiers with regard to outlook
- whether the proposed development would accord with the Council's development plan strategy for carbon emissions and water efficiency
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through the overly large, blank-walled building diminishing the spacious quality of the rear development pattern, combined with the failure to provide a suitable living environment for future occupiers due to limited outlook.
The benefits of housing supply were outweighed by the unacceptable harm to character and appearance and the failure to provide a suitable living environment for future occupiers.
