Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of No 41 Pretoria Road, having regard to privacy, and the occupiers of No 45 Pretoria Road, with respect to natural light and outlook
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the appeal property and the area, conflicting with the development plan and Framework objectives for well-designed places sympathetic to local character, which outweighed the limited benefits of meeting the appellant's housing needs.
The significant harm to character and appearance, given substantial weight, outweighed the limited weight given to the appellant's personal housing circumstances and small economic benefits, with no material considerations sufficient to overcome the development plan conflict.
