Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of future occupants, with regard to outlook and daylight
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with regard to daylight, privacy and dominance
What decided it
The identified harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of both future and neighbouring occupants significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefit of a larger dwelling, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development is not engaged.
The harm identified to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of future and neighbouring occupants significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefit arising from a larger dwelling, such that the appeal should be dismissed despite the Council's inability to demonstrate a five year housing land supply.
