O'Doherty A

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 the occupiers of the dwelling known as Sighisoara, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The significant weight given to the adverse impacts on character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions substantially outweighed the moderate weight of housing and environmental benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.

The significant weight of adverse impacts on character and appearance and living conditions of neighbours substantially outweighed the moderate weight of housing supply benefits and environmental measures, such that the proposal did not benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
