Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- The effects of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of 6 and 8 Meadow Close with particular regard to light and outlook
What decided it
The harmful effects upon character and appearance through excessive height and cramped layout, combined with unacceptable impacts on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing presence and loss of light and outlook, were determinative and could not be outweighed by modest housing and economic benefits.
The modest benefits of housing supply and economic benefits were insufficient to outweigh the significant and determinative harm to character and appearance and the acute and harmful impacts on neighbouring living conditions
