Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- The character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to the privacy and outlook of occupiers at Woodland View and Glynrroen from the first-floor balcony and patio doors, combined with the overbearing effect on Glynrroen, which conflicts with Policy BT2 and outweighs the modest housing and economic benefits.
The modest benefits of housing delivery and temporary economic activity were insufficient to outweigh the identified harm to living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and conflict with the development plan
Plan policies cited: Policy BT2, Policy BT1
