Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, by means of overlooking and overshadowing, noise and disturbance
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of prospective residents, by means of outlook and access to natural light
- The need for the housing type proposed
- The effect of the development on flood risk
What decided it
The proposal's scale, massing and design would be fundamentally at odds with the character of the area and would cause significant harm to the living conditions of both neighbouring and prospective residents, with no material considerations to outweigh the conflict with the development plan.
