Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 11 and 12 Larchwood Close, with particular reference to privacy and outlook
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular reference to garden size
- the effect of the proposed development on existing biodiversity and ecology
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance, living conditions of existing and future occupiers, and inability to rule out harm to biodiversity outweighed the modest housing supply benefits.
