Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future residents, with specific regard to light and outlook
What decided it
The proposed cycle and bin stores would harm the character and appearance of the area by introducing built form forward of the established building line, and the subdivision would result in unacceptable living conditions for Flat 1 due to inadequate light, outlook and privacy.
The adverse impacts of granting planning permission, comprising significant harm to character and appearance and unacceptable living conditions for future residents, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the very limited housing supply benefits of the scheme.
