Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupants and nearby residents with regards to overlooking, privacy and outlook
- The effect of the proposed development on protected habitats
What decided it
The significant and cumulative harm to character and appearance and to living conditions of both future and neighbouring residents outweighed the modest housing benefits in the context of the tilted balance test.
The benefits of housing delivery (given substantial under-supply of 2.3 years) were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance of the area and to living conditions of existing and future residents, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole
