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 the occupiers of 5 Lavant Road with reference to outlook and the occupiers of 1 and 5 Lavant Road with reference to privacy
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance and outlook significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of delivering five additional dwellings in an area with insufficient housing land supply.
The harm to character and appearance and outlook was afforded substantial weight and significantly and demonstrably outweighed the significant weight given to the modest but useful contribution of five additional dwellings in an area with only 2.01 years housing supply, resulting in dismissal despite the tilted balance.
