Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of No 13 Rudgleigh Avenue, having particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area, to which the Inspector attributed great importance, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of the proposal when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
The benefits of housing delivery (modest weight) and accommodation for a disabled occupant (moderate weight) were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance, resulting in the proposal not comprising sustainable development.
