Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with specific regard to privacy
  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area with specific regard to size and scale

What decided it

The failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with regard to privacy, which conflicts with the development plan and substantially outweighs the modest housing and economic benefits.

The adverse impacts of the development regarding living conditions would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest contribution towards housing supply and economic benefits, with the material considerations not indicating that the proposal should be determined other than in accordance with the development plan.
