Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • Whether or not the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, having regard to the provision of internal living space and private outdoor space
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Newton Court, having regard to privacy

What decided it

The combination of visual harm to character and appearance and failure to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants outweighed the limited housing benefits in the absence of a five-year supply.

The adverse impacts of poor design, harm to character and appearance, and inadequate living conditions for future occupants significantly and demonstrably outweighed the very limited benefits of housing provision and economic benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
