Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the living conditions of the occupants of surrounding properties in respect of overbearing effect and privacy, and of future occupants of the development with regard to outlook
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance caused by the cramped, over-engineered design with minimal landscaping significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery, even under the tilted balance.
The benefits of housing supply and associated social and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance of the area; the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply in these circumstances
Framework references: 11
