- the living conditions of occupiers at 3 The Beeches, with particular regard to outlook, privacy and light
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, which conflicts with the development plan, outweighs the limited benefits of two additional dwellings and uncertain specialist housing provision.
The significant harm to character and appearance and neighbour living conditions, each carrying significant weight due to development plan conflict, outweighed the limited contribution of two dwellings to housing supply and the limited weight afforded to uncertain specialist housing provision and personal health benefits.
