Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether the proposed development would provide sufficient living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to character and appearance combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupiers, particularly poor outlook, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits in the tilted balance assessment.
The adverse impacts in respect of character and appearance and living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery and minor economic contribution, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
