Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of 11 Dean Gardens, with regard to outdoor amenity space

What decided it

The adverse impacts on character and appearance and outdoor amenity space would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the identified housing benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.

The housing supply benefits were afforded significant weight, but the adverse impacts on character and appearance and outdoor amenity space were afforded significant weight individually and together significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits, so the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.

Framework references: 11, 125, 135

Plan policies cited: CP12, CP14, DM18, DM1, DM20
