Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties with regard to outlook
- whether the development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants, and also the effect of the development on the occupants of 2 and 2A Tithe Walk with regard to external amenity space
What decided it
The harmful effects on character and appearance, neighbouring outlook, and inadequate amenity space for both future and existing occupants significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing supply benefits, even if a housing land supply shortfall existed.
The adverse impacts of granting planning permission in relation to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours, and amenity space for future and existing occupants significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of contributing one additional dwelling to housing supply, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
