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 the occupiers of 20 Great Oak Meadow with particular regard to outlook
- whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to garden space, and daylight and sunlight
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers substantially outweighed the modest housing benefits of the three-dwelling scheme.
The substantial harm to character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery and local economic support, with the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
