Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the street scene and surrounding area, including the effect on protected trees and open space
- whether the proposed development would provide a satisfactory standard of accommodation for future occupants, with particular regard to outlook, daylight, sunlight and private outdoor space
What decided it
The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the street scene and surrounding area, with the development appearing overly dominant and visually obtrusive, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefits.
The modest benefits of two new homes and social and economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harmful effect on character and appearance; the fallback position did not alter this balance.
