Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupants of 61 and 65 Anvil Crescent having particular regard to light and outlook
What decided it
The proposal would cause harmful impacts on both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, conflicting with policy PP27 and paragraph 130 of the NPPF, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify approval.
The benefits of modernisation and additional accommodation were outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance and the unacceptable impact on neighbouring living conditions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- PP27
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
