Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, levels of daylight and sunlight
- the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at Nos.12 and 14 Charles Grinling Walk, with particular regard to outlook, levels of daylight and sunlight, and private amenity space
- the effect of the proposal upon existing trees
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring and future occupiers, combined with harm to character and appearance, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited housing benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
the adverse impacts of harm to living conditions of existing and future occupiers and to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of housing supply and effective land use, even under the tilted balance triggered by the lack of five-year housing land supply
