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 neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions, when weighed against the modest housing and economic benefits in the context of the tilted balance, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits.
The modest housing benefit and limited economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
