Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
- the living conditions of occupants of surrounding residential properties with specific regard to overlooking
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring residential amenity through overlooking substantially outweighed the modest housing benefits in the absence of a five-year housing land supply.
The benefits of housing provision in a sustainable location were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on character and appearance and neighbouring amenity, assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
