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 proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 110 Beesmoor Road, with particular reference to outlook
  • whether the proposal would make adequate provision for Biodiversity Net Gain

What decided it

The unacceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area, attributed significant weight, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery under the tilted balance.

The moderate benefits of delivering 3 dwellings and associated social and economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
