Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to private outdoor amenity space, outlook, light, ventilation and access
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 2 Fosse Way (No 2) with regard to outlook
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance combined with significant harm to future occupiers' living conditions substantially and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of housing delivery in circumstances where the tilted balance applies.
The limited benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of a small site were substantially outweighed by significant harm to character and appearance and significant harm to future occupiers' living conditions; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
