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 neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions substantially and demonstrably outweighs the moderate benefits of housing delivery in circumstances of undersupply.
The adverse impacts of significant harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions substantially and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of providing two additional dwellings and quick delivery on a small site, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
