Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to privacy, outlook, noise and disturbance
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of Emerson Park and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, particularly overlooking and overbearing effects, substantially and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefit of one additional dwelling.
The limited benefit of one additional dwelling to housing supply was substantially outweighed by the unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with substantial weight afforded to the adverse impacts in accordance with paragraphs 124 and 130 of the Framework.
