Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for the occupiers of the existing and proposed dwellings, with particular regard to outdoor amenity space and cycle storage

What decided it

The significant harm to character and appearance of the area and failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for occupiers substantially and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.

The adverse impacts of granting planning permission, comprising significant harm to character and appearance and failure to provide satisfactory living conditions, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery and contribution to supply, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
