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 the neighbouring occupiers of 35 Poplar Lane, with particular regard to loss of sunlight, natural light, and outlook
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the unacceptable overbearing effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing supply in the planning balance under paragraph 11(d)(ii) of the Framework.
The benefits of housing delivery and social and economic benefits were outweighed by significant harm to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbours, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
