Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the future occupiers of Park House with reference to light and outlook, and whether acceptable living conditions would be provided for the future occupiers of the proposed development with reference to the provision of outdoor amenity space
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal would provide an appropriate housing mix
- The effect of the proposal on trees
What decided it
The significant and long-lasting harm to living conditions and character and appearance would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of providing four new dwellings, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development under paragraph 11d) of the Framework does not apply.
The benefits of four new dwellings and economic/social benefits offered moderate weight in favour, but were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant and long-lasting adverse impacts relating to living conditions and character and appearance, and the conflict with the development plan.
