Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of 13 Crossmead with respect to their privacy and outlook
  • The effect on biodiversity

What decided it

The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area and the unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing outlook significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and affordable housing contribution.

The substantial adverse impacts on character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing supply, affordable housing contribution, sustainable location and brownfield reuse, despite the Council's inability to demonstrate five-year housing land supply.
