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 occupants of neighbouring properties to the east, with particular regard to daylight and sunlight
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to private amenity space
- whether sufficient information is provided to demonstrate the proposed development would not increase the vulnerability of the site or wider catchment to flooding from surface water run-off
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds—character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours, private amenity space, and surface water flood risk—with no other considerations outweighing these harms.
