Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupants of 72, 74 and 76 High Street, and 23c Chesil View, with regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The proposal would create a discordant, cramped dwelling in a back-to-back formation that would be uncharacteristic of the area and would cause significant overbearing harm to the outlook and amenity of neighbouring properties, with benefits insufficient to outweigh these harms.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ENV10Policy ENV12Policy ENV16
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 119Paragraph 120Paragraph 12
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
