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 neighbouring occupiers at Flat 3, 843 Christchurch Road with regard to outlook and daylight
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to internal space, outlook, daylight, noise, and privacy
- Whether the proposed development would contribute appropriately to the housing mix of the area
What decided it
The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance, living conditions of existing and future occupiers, and failure to meet housing mix requirements would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply delivery.
