Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the street scene
- the effect on the living conditions for the occupiers of No. 4 Beechlands Close as regards outlook
What decided it
The combination of the dwelling's height, size, siting and the awkward shape of the site would create a cramped, overdeveloped appearance that would harm the street scene and the outlook from the neighbouring property, and these harms significantly and demonstrably outweigh the housing benefit even under the tilted balance.
the adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring outlook would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefit of an additional dwelling when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole
