Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of its surroundings
- whether this is an acceptable location for the proposal having regard to the living conditions of proposed and neighbouring residents with specific reference to outlook, amenity space, visual impact, safety and security
What decided it
The proposal's location in a service lane would result in development entirely out of character with its surroundings and would unacceptably harm the living conditions of both existing and future residents, with benefits that do not outweigh these harms even under the tilted balance.
the modest benefits of housing delivery were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on character, appearance and living conditions when assessed against the policies of the Framework as a whole
