Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the proposal, with particular regard to outlook and outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area by disrupting the established pattern of development and would fail to provide suitable living conditions due to poor outlook from the ground floor habitable room.
The benefits of housing delivery and use of previously developed land were outweighed by the identified harm to character and appearance and the failure to provide suitable living conditions regarding outlook.
