Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No 4 and No 6 Stour View Gardens, with particular regard to privacy and outlook

What decided it

The adverse impacts of harm to neighbouring living conditions and character and appearance of the area significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of housing delivery, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.

Under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework, the modest benefits of five dwellings and economic benefits during construction were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the incongruous form of development, failure to maintain high amenity standards for existing occupiers, and failure to be sympathetic to local character, resulting in dismissal.
