Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of properties adjoining Glentrammon Road with specific regard to privacy
What decided it
The adverse impacts arising from harm to character and appearance and living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate weight attributed to the housing benefits when assessed against the Framework policies taken as a whole, such that the proposal did not benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
The significant harm to character and appearance and living conditions, carrying significant weight against the scheme, outweighed the moderate weight attributed to the benefits of four additional residential units on a brownfield site in a sustainable location with good public transport access.
