Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and loss of privacy
- highway and pedestrian safety
- character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the setting of the Collingtree Conservation Area
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents, particularly regarding outlook and overbearing impact, would demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the proposal even in the context of the Council's lack of five-year housing land supply.
The benefits of delivering one dwelling and economic contribution were outweighed by the significant harm to neighbouring residents' living conditions, such that the adverse impacts would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies and the Framework taken as a whole.
