Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 2, 4, & 6 Ashville Road with regards to light and outlook
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of the future occupiers of the proposed dwelling and occupiers of the existing dwelling with regards to the provision of internal and external space

What decided it

The adverse impacts on character and appearance and on the living conditions of neighbouring and future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefit when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
