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 the occupants of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook, daylight, sunlight and privacy
- whether the proposed development would provide a satisfactory standard of accommodation for future occupants, with particular regard to outlook, odour and noise
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to character and appearance, combined with unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions and failure to provide satisfactory accommodation for future occupants, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited housing and economic benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The adverse effects of granting permission, comprising unacceptable harm to character and appearance and living conditions, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of eight additional dwellings and limited social and economic benefits when assessed against the policies of the Framework as a whole.
