Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to light
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 35 Eglinton Hill, with particular regard to the provision of amenity space
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance combined with the failure to demonstrate acceptable daylight and sunlight for future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing supply benefit when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
The modest contribution of one dwelling to housing supply was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and the failure to demonstrate acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, such that the proposal did not benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
