Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers in relation to outlook and daylight
- whether the proposed development provides an appropriate housing mix
- whether there would be adequate means of drainage
What decided it
The unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers combined with harm to character and appearance outweighed the moderate benefits of housing supply and economic benefits.
the moderate benefits of housing supply and economic benefits did not justify the significant harms to character and appearance and living conditions
