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 appropriate living conditions for existing neighbours, having particular regard to outlook, and for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and outdoor space
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance and the demonstrable detrimental impact on living conditions of existing and future residents substantially and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of housing delivery, such that the tilted balance does not favour the scheme.
The moderate benefits of housing supply and effective land use were substantially and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the demonstrable harm to living conditions of existing and future residents, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
