Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not it would lead to flood risk
- The character and appearance of the street scene
- The living conditions of the occupants of 159 and 161 Station Road with regards to outlook and sense of overbearing
What decided it
The proposal would cause detrimental harm to the living conditions of occupants at 159 Station Road through an overbearing sense of enclosure in their rear garden, combined with harm to the character and appearance of the street scene, which conflicts with the development plan and is not outweighed by any material considerations.
The recognised national demand to build new homes does not justify allowing unacceptable development that harms the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and the character of the street scene; the harm to the development plan is afforded substantial weight with no material considerations of sufficient weight to indicate a decision other than in accordance with the plan.
