Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of existing surrounding occupants, and on future occupants of the proposed dwelling, with particular reference to privacy, outlook and light
- the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The unacceptable adverse effects on privacy, outlook and living conditions, combined with the cramped and overdeveloped appearance of the development, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing and economic benefits, even under the tilted balance.
The limited benefits of a single dwelling's contribution to housing supply and economic activity were outweighed by the significant harms to living conditions and character and appearance, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits under paragraph 11 of the Framework.
