Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing building and surrounding area
- The living conditions of nearby residents, with particular reference to noise and disturbance, outlook and privacy
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance from the accessway severing the front garden and the harm to living conditions from noise and disturbance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing supply and economic growth when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
