Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular reference to external amenity space, outlook, and noise and disturbance
- whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular reference to external amenity space
What decided it
The conflict with the Farnham Neighbourhood Plan policies on design and character, combined with the overbearing effect on neighbouring occupiers' outlook, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited housing benefits under Framework paragraph 14.
The significant weight of conflict with the Farnham Neighbourhood Plan and development plan policies on character, appearance and neighbours' amenity significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited weight of housing supply and economic benefits.
