Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring residential properties, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The significant and enduring harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, when balanced against the benefits of housing provision under the tilted balance, significantly and demonstrably outweighs those benefits.
The benefits of housing provision in an accessible location were outweighed by the significant and enduring harm to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbours; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
