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 proposed development on the living conditions of Nos 26-38 and No 35, with regard to outlook
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, arising from the cumulative visual effects of extensive development at first floor and roof level across the original pair and the proposed dwelling, outweighed the limited benefits of a single additional dwelling in an area with low public transport accessibility.
the modest contribution to housing supply and effective use of land were outweighed by significant harm to character and appearance and conflict with development plan policies and the Framework, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits and the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
