Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents in respect of outlook and light, as well as neighbouring and future residents with regards to external amenity space
- Cycle and waste storage
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance, combined with significant harm to neighbouring amenity and inadequate cycle storage provision, substantially and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of adding a single dwelling to the housing supply.
The moderate benefits of housing supply in a sustainable location were substantially outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours, and cycle storage provision; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
