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 of the development and occupiers of neighbouring No.147 Burniston Road
What decided it
The poor-quality design and layout of the proposal, combined with the lack of boundary landscaping and poor standard of amenity for future occupiers, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits in the context of the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of poor design, loss of character and appearance, and poor amenity standards significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of the development, which would not increase dwelling numbers, provide affordable housing, or demonstrate greater housing need.
