Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 17 and 19 Lockesfield Place with particular reference to daylight and outlook
- Character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would result in unacceptable effects on the outlook and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and would harm the character and appearance of the area, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh that conflict.
The benefits of making effective use of an existing property and increasing housing diversity were outweighed by the harm to living conditions and character and appearance, as good design is a key aspect of sustainable development.
