Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including a nearby locally listed building
- The living conditions of the occupants of 46 and 50a Longley Road, with regards to daylight and sunlight, outlook and privacy
- The risk of flooding, having regard to the appeal site's location
- The reduction of carbon emissions
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance, the unacceptable impact on the living conditions of No 50a through overbearing outlook effects, and the failure to pass the Sequential Test for flood risk collectively outweighed the benefits of the proposal.
