Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing occupiers with specific regard to noise, disturbance and outlook, and whether there would be acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with specific regard to privacy
What decided it
The substantial and long-lasting harm to the character of the area and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of housing supply and economic contributions, such that the proposal does not represent sustainable development.
The substantial harms to character and living conditions were ascribed substantial weight and significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited weight given to housing supply contribution and modest economic and social benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
