Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of future occupants, with regard to floor space, light, outlook and private amenity space
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with regard to light and outlook, and access to refuse and cycle storage
- housing mix
- highway safety
- flood risk
What decided it
The development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of both future and neighbouring occupants, which conflicts with the development plan and outweighs the benefits of providing additional housing.
