Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect on living conditions for the occupiers of 2 Margaret Close and 67 Andrew Crescent, with particular regard to outlook and noise and disturbance
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and level of daylight
  • whether it would comply with national planning policy which seeks to steer new development away from areas at the highest risk of flooding

What decided it

The cumulative effect of harm to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, future occupier living conditions, and unaddressed flood risk, collectively given significant weight, demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of a single modest dwelling in an area with housing land supply shortfall.

the adverse impacts of granting permission, comprising multiple harms to character and appearance, neighbouring amenity, future occupier living conditions and flood risk, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the very modest benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of previously developed land
