Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of 26 Padnell Road and 32 Padnell Road with particular regard to outlook, privacy, noise and disturbance and, additionally with regard to No 32, sunlight
- the living conditions of local residents and free flow of traffic in Padnell Road from increased pressure for on-street parking
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions substantially and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefits, even with the tilted balance engaged due to the lack of five-year housing land supply.
the significant harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers substantially and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery and economic/social benefits, tipping against the appeal
