Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area
- Whether there would be satisfactory living conditions for future residents, with particular regard to internal layout, amenity space, outlook and privacy
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to outlook
- Whether the proposal would satisfactorily address drainage and flood risk
What decided it
The material harm to the character and appearance of the local area and living conditions of existing and future residents, combined with unresolved flood risk concerns, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of one additional housing unit even under the tilted balance.
