Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook, light, privacy, noise and disturbance
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for its future occupiers, with particular regard to access arrangements and fire safety
- Whether the proposal would provide safe and adequate arrangements for deliveries and servicing, waste collection and cycle storage
- Whether car parking arrangements would be adequate
- Whether the proposed housing mix is appropriate
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance through the introduction of built development into an otherwise open rear area, combined with harm to neighbouring living conditions and inadequate access and servicing arrangements, resulted in development plan conflict that was not outweighed by any material considerations.
