Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupants of Unit 2, with particular regard to external amenity space
- whether future occupiers of Unit 1 would be likely to experience suitable living conditions in terms of outlook
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan through significant harm to character and appearance and unacceptable living conditions for future occupants, which are overriding factors that the limited housing supply contribution cannot overcome.
