Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
- whether a satisfactory standard of accommodation would be provided for future occupants of the proposed development, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance, neighbouring amenity (outlook), and future occupants' living conditions outweighed the limited housing benefits in the planning balance under Framework paragraph 11.d.
the benefits of housing delivery and the site's sustainable location were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance, neighbouring outlook, and future occupants' privacy
