Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether the proposed development would provide a satisfactory standard of accommodation for its future occupiers, with particular regard to the proposed private garden areas of plots 2 and 3
- Whether there is sufficient information to demonstrate that the on-site trees have been properly considered and the effect of the proposed development on off-site trees
What decided it
The visual harm to character and appearance caused by the cramped density and small plot sizes, combined with inadequate private amenity space for plots 2 and 3 due to tree overshadowing, outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits.
The modest social, environmental and economic benefits of the development would not outweigh the deficiencies arising from conflict with the development plan regarding character and appearance and living conditions.
