Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- the effect of the proposed development on trees
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to parking
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the unacceptable impact on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, particularly regarding outlook and privacy, outweighed the limited housing supply benefits in the planning balance.
The limited housing benefits and modest economic benefits from construction were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions, such that the proposal did not constitute sustainable development despite the out-of-date development plan.
