Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of 14a, 14b and 14c Cairo Avenue South and 329 South Coast Road, with particular regard to outlook and light
- highway safety, with particular regard to access and turning facilities
What decided it
The adverse impacts of the proposal on character and appearance, living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and highway safety would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest housing supply benefit.
The modest benefit of five additional homes in a sustainable location and on previously developed land was outweighed by the significant harms to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours and highway safety, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits.
