Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of occupiers at 12 Elmsway, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The lasting harm to the character and appearance of the area, caused by the bulky mass and incongruous rendered elevations, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of delivering one additional dwelling in an area with housing shortfall.
The benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
