Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of occupiers of No. 92 Turner Road with regard to overlooking, and noise and disturbance
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the introduction of built form into an open corner plot and the incongruous single-storey design among predominantly two-storey properties outweighed the moderate benefits of housing supply and limited benefits of biodiversity net gain.
The lack of harm to living conditions (neutral) and the moderate benefits of housing supply and limited benefits of biodiversity net gain and local economic contribution did not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance.
