Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- living conditions of the occupiers of 54 Fullers Avenue and 58 Fullers Avenue with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- highway safety
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours, and highway safety cumulatively outweighed the modest housing supply benefits even under the tilted balance.
The modest economic and social benefits through housing supply contribution and construction employment were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the conflict with the Framework regarding quality of area, amenity standards, and highway safety.
