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 proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and whether the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed development would be acceptable, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The adverse impacts on character and appearance and on living conditions through unacceptable overlooking and loss of privacy significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of the proposal when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.

the limited benefits of adding to housing supply and making efficient use of land were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harmful effects on character and appearance and on living conditions of neighbouring and future occupiers
