Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No. 149 Church Lane and Merley Court, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
- The living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
- Highway safety
What decided it
The significant adverse effects on character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, future occupier living conditions, and highway safety, which together outweighed the limited benefit of providing a single additional dwelling.
The support for provision of additional homes did not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbouring and future occupiers, and highway safety concerns.
