Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to outlook and privacy
  • Whether the proposal would provide adequate car parking spaces

What decided it

The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the proximity, height and massing of the proposed dwellings, combined with unacceptable impacts on neighbouring amenity through loss of privacy and outlook, outweighed the housing and economic benefits.
