Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupants of 2 & 4 Whitehead Place with regards to outlook, light, and garden space
- Whether the development would provide its occupants with satisfactory living conditions with regards to internal space
- Whether the development makes suitable provision for parking
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants substantially outweighed the modest benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
The benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of land were substantially and demonstrably outweighed by significant harm to character and appearance and living conditions, such that the proposal did not benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
