Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of residents at 32 Grove Road
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future residents of the appeal scheme
What decided it
The unacceptable living conditions for future residents resulting from poor outlook, overlooking and loss of privacy due to limited separation distances from neighbouring dwellings, combined with limited harm to character and appearance, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefit when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The adverse impacts of unacceptable living conditions for future residents and occupants of the host dwelling, together with limited harm to character and appearance, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the very modest cumulative benefits of providing one additional dwelling on a small site, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
