Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the development proposed on (i) the character and appearance of the area and (ii) the living conditions of occupiers of 22-28 Westrow Drive and 13 Cornwall Close, with regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring and future occupiers outweighed the modest housing supply benefit in the planning balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
The harm to character and appearance and living conditions would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of one additional dwelling towards housing supply when assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole
