Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the development on highway safety
- whether the proposal provides adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with respect to outlook and the provision of internal and outdoor space
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupants, with respect to privacy
- the effect of the development on trees
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, future occupier living conditions, and highway safety, combined with insufficient weight given to housing supply benefits, justified dismissal of the appeal.
