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 neighbouring occupiers at No's 59 and 60 Summer Down Walk
- whether the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed development would be acceptable, with particular regard to the size of the dwelling
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No.60 Summer Down Walk outweighed the limited housing benefits of a single small dwelling.
The adverse impacts of granting permission, comprising significant harm to character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery and windfall site development when assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole.
