Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of Flat 2, with particular regard to overshadowing

What decided it

The significant harm to the living conditions of occupants of Flat 2 through overshadowing, combined with harm to character and appearance, outweighs the limited housing supply benefits in the planning balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.

The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and significant harm to living conditions of neighbouring occupants significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of a single dwelling contribution to housing supply and associated social and economic benefits.
