Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 8 Beanhill Crescent, having regard to outlook and privacy
  • Whether the proposed alterations to the existing dwelling would provide suitable living conditions for occupants, having regard to daylight and outlook

What decided it

The significant harm to the living conditions of occupants of 8 Beanhill Crescent through loss of outlook and privacy, combined with harm to character, outweighed the contribution to housing supply.

The adverse impacts regarding living conditions and character significantly and demonstrably outweigh the small social, economic and environmental benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply
