Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and on the living conditions of existing and prospective occupiers with particular regard to privacy, outdoor space and light
What decided it
The proposal's harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area through incongruous massing and layout, combined with inadequate privacy separation and substandard garden provision, was not outweighed by any material considerations.
The identified harm to character and appearance and living conditions was not outweighed by any material considerations, including the unsubstantiated benefit to the adjoining public house.
