Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed replacement dwelling on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the appeal proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No.59 South Beach, with particular reference to outlook, daylight and privacy
What decided it
The minor harm to outlook and overshadowing at No.59 would not amount to significant adverse impact justifying refusal, and the substantial flood resilience benefits of raising habitable accommodation in a Flood Zone 3 coastal location outweighed the identified concerns.
The modest harm to outlook and daylight at the neighbouring property was outweighed by the absence of significant harm to character and appearance and the substantial flood resilience benefits of the replacement dwelling in a high-risk coastal flood zone.
