Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
- the living conditions of future occupiers

What decided it
The considerable and long-lasting harms to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, future occupant living conditions, and parking provision significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery in an area with a five-year housing land supply shortfall.
The benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of land (moderate weight) and limited economic and social benefits were outweighed by substantial weight given to considerable and long-lasting harms to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, future occupant living conditions, and parking provision, resulting in the proposal failing to constitute sustainable development.
