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 future occupiers, with particular regard to outdoor amenity space
- the living conditions of existing occupiers of 8, 9 and 10 Lower Range, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area and the inadequate outdoor amenity space for future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The modest housing contribution and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the living conditions of future occupiers, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
