Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether satisfactory living conditions would be provided for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and outdoor space
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area and fail to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, conflicting with the development plan as a whole with no material considerations to indicate otherwise.
the limited benefits of housing supply and efficient land use were outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and failure to provide satisfactory living conditions
