Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for its future occupiers, including in respect of light, outlook, privacy and internal space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby dwellings, in respect of noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposal on the mix and balance of the community
What decided it
The substantial harms to character and appearance, future occupier living conditions, and neighbouring amenity significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing supply, particularly given the site's unsuitability for the proposed use.
The substantial harms to character and appearance, future occupier living conditions, and neighbouring amenity significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of additional housing supply, with Framework Paragraph 125 not supporting the proposal.
