  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers, with regard to garden sizes
  • The effect of the proposed development on the biodiversity of the area

What decided it

The harm to the character and appearance of the area through the dominant and cramped form of development, combined with material loss of privacy to existing neighbouring occupiers, conflicts with the development plan with no material considerations to override this.
