Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of No 114 and 116 Cecil Drive with particular reference to outlook and amenity space
- the living conditions of the future occupiers of the proposed dwelling with particular reference to internal and amenity space
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of both existing and future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of providing one additional dwelling, even when assessed under the tilted balance.
The moderate benefits of providing one additional dwelling and meeting local housing need were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance and the living conditions of existing and future occupiers.
