Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of neighbouring properties and the development with regards to light, privacy and internal space
What decided it
The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and inadequate internal space for future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the relatively limited benefits of providing four residential units, even under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of granting permission (harm to character and appearance and living conditions) significantly and demonstrably outweighed the relatively limited benefits (housing provision and economic/environmental advantages), when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
