Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 90 Tanworth Lane and the occupants of properties on Micklehill Drive near the appeal site, with regards to outlook
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable harm to the character and appearance of the area through disruption of the linear development pattern and the substantial harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents through loss of outlook and sense of enclosure outweighed the limited housing and economic benefits of a single dwelling.
The harm identified with regard to character and appearance of the area and living conditions of neighbouring residents would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of the proposal when assessed against policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
Framework references: 11
Plan policies cited: Policy P5, Policy P15, Policy P14
