Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be in a suitable location for housing, having regard to the development strategy for the area and access to services and facilities
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the adjoining neighbours at 66, 68 and 70 Eastwick Road, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with reference to trees
What decided it
The significant harms arising from the unsuitable location, adverse effects on neighbouring living conditions, and damage to the character and appearance of the area, combined with the limited benefits of a single dwelling, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
The significant harms to location suitability, neighbouring amenity and character and appearance were given significant weight against the limited benefits of one additional dwelling, which outweighed the presumption in favour of sustainable development under paragraph 11d)ii of the Framework.
