Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area
- The living conditions of the occupier of 15 Vermuyden Villas, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance combined with significant harm to neighbouring privacy would demonstrably outweigh the modest housing and economic benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
The adverse impacts on character and privacy would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of housing supply, economic uplift and social contribution, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply despite the lack of five-year housing land supply.
