Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of No 106 Sunnybank, with particular regard to privacy
  • whether the proposal would provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwellings, with particular regard to the amount of outdoor amenity space and sunlight

What decided it

The significantly harmful effects on character and appearance and on the privacy of existing occupiers, combined with modest socio-economic benefits, meant the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits under paragraph 11(d)(ii) of the Framework.

The modest housing supply and socio-economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of existing occupiers.
