Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- the impact on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbours at 62 Downs Valley Road with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The adverse impacts of the development on the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring residents significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
the modest housing benefit of two dwellings was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and neighbour amenity, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
