Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- the effect upon the living conditions of nearby and future residents with particular regard to light, privacy, and outlook
- the effect upon protected habitat sites
What decided it
The adverse impacts arising from harm to character and appearance, living conditions, and protected habitat sites significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of housing supply and economic contribution.
The modest benefits of housing supply contribution (given a shortfall to 3.07 years) and economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harms to character and appearance, unacceptable living conditions for existing and future residents, and adverse impact upon the integrity of protected habitat sites.
