Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with regard to light, outlook and privacy
- whether or not the proposal would provide an adequate standard of living accommodation for its occupiers in respect of internal space
- the effect of the proposal on parking in the vicinity of the site
- whether or not the proposal would be satisfactory in respect of flood risk and make adequate provision for sustainable drainage
- whether or not the proposal would provide adequate sustainable construction measures
What decided it
The substantial weight attached to the significant harm to character and appearance and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers outweighed the modest housing benefits, even under the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
the adverse impacts of granting permission significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the development when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole
