Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, specifically the Wontner Road streetscene
- whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for housing, specifically in relation to the effect of the proposal on amenity space for 119 Boundaries Road, and biodiversity
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers of the existing dwelling, 119 Boundaries Road, in terms of access to daylight, sunlight, and outlook (including overbearance)
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the Wontner Road streetscene, combined with moderate harm to the living conditions of the existing dwelling, outweighed the minor benefits of housing delivery.
The significant harm to character and appearance and moderate harm to living conditions outweighed the minor benefits derived from the supply of a single dwelling and its economic effects.
