Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of occupiers of the proposed development and neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to living space, noise and disturbance, outlook and privacy
- Biodiversity
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area, combined with detrimental effects on neighbouring living conditions and inadequate biodiversity mitigation, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefits, even under the tilted balance.
The harm arising from the impact on character and appearance, living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, and impact on biodiversity would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the social and economic benefits of four additional housing units and local economic support
