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 neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and noise
- the living conditions of its future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- highway safety and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to traffic generation
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, neighbouring and future occupiers' living conditions, and highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefit of providing five additional dwellings in an area with housing shortfall.
