Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupants of Allington Court in respect of sunlight and the occupants of Allington Court and 7 and 9 Elliman Avenue in respect of outlook
- parking
What decided it
The substantial harm to character and appearance and unacceptable impact on living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefit of providing two additional dwellings in an area with insufficient housing land supply.
The harm to character and appearance and living conditions (substantial weight) significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefit of housing delivery when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole, such that permission should be refused despite the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing supply.
