Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby residential properties with particular regard to outlook and daylight
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to private outdoor space
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for the storage of waste and recycling
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to character and appearance caused by the incongruent scale of the building within the uniform terraced street context, combined with the failure to provide private outdoor space for future occupiers and unresolved concerns about daylight harm to adjacent properties, outweighed the moderate benefits of additional housing supply and efficient brownfield use.
