Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area of Hadley and Woodville Roads
- Whether or not there would be an adverse impact on living conditions for future occupants of the dwelling in terms of the level of private amenity space provided
What decided it
The detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area through overdevelopment and intensification of backland development, combined with inadequate private amenity space for future occupants, outweighed the modest housing benefit and was not justified by the presumption in favour of development.
The slight benefit of adding to housing supply did not outweigh the harm identified in respect of character and appearance and living conditions
