Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 52 Windsor Road, with particular reference to privacy
- The effect of the proposed development on biodiversity
- Whether the proposal makes suitable provision for waste
- The effect of the proposed development on the nearby trees
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, living conditions, biodiversity and the absence of waste provision arrangements outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution.
The benefits of delivering two homes and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harms to character and appearance, unacceptable loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers, undemonstrated biodiversity net gain, and lack of waste provision, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
