Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 65A Star Lane, having particular regard to outlook
- the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significantly harmful overbearing effect on the outlook and living conditions of the occupiers of No 65A, which substantially and demonstrably outweighed the minimal contribution to housing supply.
The adverse impact on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of one additional dwelling to housing supply, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
