Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the future occupiers of Flat A with regard to the provision of internal floorspace, and of the occupiers of No. 12 Miller Road, with regard to outlook
What decided it
The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance, fail to provide adequate internal floorspace for future occupiers, and cause unacceptable harm to the outlook of neighbouring occupiers, with the modest contribution to housing mix insufficient to outweigh these harms.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM10Policy SP2.8Policy SP2.7Policy D4Policy D6Policy D3
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
