Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of those living nearby
  • Whether acceptable provision would be made in relation to cycle storage
  • Whether acceptable provision would be made in relation to biodiversity
  • Whether acceptable provision would be made in relation to promoting reductions in private car ownership and increases in sustainable travel

What decided it

The proposal would have an unacceptable effect on the living conditions of occupants of the neighbouring property by materially reducing an important source of outlook and creating an unacceptable sense of enclosure, which constitutes conflict with the development plan that cannot be outweighed by the housing benefits.
