Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 54 Mayflower Road with particular regard to privacy and whether or not it would be overbearing
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of the occupiers of 54 Mayflower Road through overbearing impact and loss of privacy outweighed the modest benefits of providing one additional dwelling in a context of housing under-supply.
the significant harm to neighbouring living conditions would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of housing provision when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole
