Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of nearby residents with particular regard to outlook, overshadowing and daylight
- the effect of the proposed development on flood risk
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate access to the nearby electricity substation
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance through the introduction of an obtrusive three-storey building that would jar with the regularity of the existing development pattern, combined with adverse effects on neighbouring residents' living conditions through overbearing form and overshadowing, outweighed the limited housing supply benefits.
