Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area
- The living conditions of the occupants of the dwelling known as Three Corners, with regard to outlook
What decided it
The loss of significant visual breaks in the built form and the cramped layout resulting from the addition of a fourth dwelling, combined with the unacceptable overbearing impact on the outlook from the neighbouring property Three Corners, caused unacceptable harm that outweighed the modest housing benefits.
