Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the area
- whether or not the proposals would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it
In Appeal A, the failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with regard to outlook and light from basement bedrooms; in Appeals B and C, the combined substantial harm to character and appearance and failure to provide satisfactory living conditions outweighed the limited benefits of housing provision.
In Appeal A, substantial harm from poor living conditions outweighed moderate benefits from housing provision and efficient land use. In Appeals B and C, substantial harm to character and appearance combined with substantial harm to living conditions outweighed limited cumulative benefits from housing provision, economic activity and efficient land use.
