Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal accords with the Council's locational strategy for residential development, in particular in relation to the use of garden land to facilitate the proposal
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of Nos 162, 164 and 168 Whitchurch Lane with particular regard to privacy, outlook and light
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for the future occupiers with particular regard to light levels and outlook
What decided it
The proposal's location on garden land contrary to the Council's locational strategy, combined with harm to the character and appearance of the area through its modern design and siting pattern, outweighed the benefits of providing additional housing.
