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 occupiers of neighbouring properties
What decided it
The significant and long-lasting harm to the living conditions of occupiers of adjacent dwellings through overbearing impact, overlooking and loss of light demonstrably outweighed the benefits of four additional dwellings in the planning balance.
The modest housing benefits and social and economic benefits of four additional dwellings were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to the living conditions of occupiers of adjacent dwellings, contrary to paragraph 130 of the Framework.
