Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living condition of nearby residents
  • Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future residents with regards to the amount of floorspace and outlook
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety with specific regard to parking provision

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and the overbearing effect on the outlook of neighbouring residents, which significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing benefits in circumstances where the development plan is out of date.

The adverse impacts of granting planning permission, comprising significant harm to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbours, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing benefits of ten flats, such that the proposal is not sustainable development and the presumption in favour does not apply
