Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would have an acceptable effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of 122 Valley Hill, with particular regard to outlook and natural light
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance and the unacceptable impact on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers substantially and demonstrably outweighed the moderate housing delivery benefits, even under the tilted balance.
The moderate weight given to housing delivery benefits was substantially and demonstrably outweighed by the significant weight attributed to harm to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbours.
