- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to privacy
- Highway safety
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area and the inadequate quality of living conditions for existing occupiers substantially and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery, even under the tilted balance.
The moderate benefits of housing delivery and use of brownfield land were substantially outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance, design quality and existing living conditions, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
