Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbours significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing supply benefits, even under the tilted balance.
The significant weight given to housing supply contribution was outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions, resulting in a conclusion that adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
