Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- impacts on character and appearance of the area, with specific regard to Burtons Estate Area of Special Local Character
- living conditions of nearby residents with specific regard to outlook, overbearing and privacy
- sustainability
- ecology and biodiversity
- highway safety
- fire safety
- flooding and drainage
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents through loss of outlook, overbearing presence and loss of privacy, combined with the absence of essential technical information on sustainability, ecology, highway safety, fire safety and drainage, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this harm.
