Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development on the external appearance of the building
- The impact of the proposed development on the amenity of neighbouring premises including overlooking, privacy and the loss of light
- The transport and highways impact of the development
- Whether the proposed development would make adequate provision for the storage of refuse and recycling facilities
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the external appearance of the building through its top-heavy and incongruous appearance, conflicting with the Framework's requirement for well-designed places, which outweighed the benefit of providing four additional dwellinghouses.
The housing benefit of four additional dwellinghouses was outweighed by the significant harm to the external appearance of the building and conflict with the Framework's design objectives.
