Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers, as well as the occupiers of the flats within Block D, with particular regard to ceiling height, outlook, the amount of private garden space and air quality
What decided it
The combined material harm to character and appearance and to living conditions, when assessed against the Framework as a whole, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of providing a single new home in an area with housing shortfall.
The benefits of housing delivery and efficient land use were outweighed by the significant and enduring harm to character and appearance and living conditions, assessed against the Framework as a whole under the tilted balance.
