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 occupiers of 6 and 8 Hillside with particular reference to outlook and sunlight
What decided it
The material harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of providing a single dwelling, even in the context of the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
The harm to character and appearance and living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighs the minor benefits of housing supply and construction/occupation benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
