Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the development provides acceptable living conditions for occupiers, with particular regard to the amount of living and amenity space, daylight and outlook, and adequate natural ventilation
- The effect of the development on living conditions for occupiers of the neighbouring property No 71 Barrowell Green, with particular regard to loss of outlook and whether it is unacceptably overbearing
- Whether it has been adequately demonstrated that the development is acceptable in terms of flood risk
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance of the area, combined with unacceptable living conditions for occupiers and unresolved flood risk concerns, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited housing benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
The benefits of housing delivery were outweighed by significant harm to character and appearance, failure to provide acceptable living conditions for occupiers, and unresolved flood risk concerns.
