Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties at 36 Norbury Drive and 1 Boxgrove Close, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- whether the development would or could incorporate a sustainable drainage system to dispose of surface water
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of delivering a single dwelling, even under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of the proposed development, comprising substantial harm to character and appearance and living conditions, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of a single dwelling when assessed against the Framework policies as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
