Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of 18 Culham Close with regard to outlook and light
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with reference to outlook and visual impact
What decided it
The failure to respect the character and appearance of the area and provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the housing benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The minimal housing contribution and efficient use of space were outweighed by significant harm to character and appearance and failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, even accounting for the Council's housing land supply shortfall.
