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 occupants of 63 Clifton Road with reference to loss of outlook, loss of light, overlooking and loss of privacy

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and the overbearing impact on the living conditions of the host dwelling's occupants, which significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited housing benefits in the context of the tilted balance.

The limited benefits of housing supply and economic contribution were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and the unacceptable impact on living conditions of the host dwelling occupants when assessed against the policies of the Framework as a whole.

Framework references: 11, 12, 62, 69, 130
