Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and the street scene
  • The living conditions of future occupiers of the development
  • The living conditions of existing neighbour occupiers at No.91 Great Gardens Road
  • Ecology

What decided it

The substantial harm to character and appearance, living conditions of both future and existing occupiers, and unresolved ecology concerns collectively and significantly outweighed the housing supply benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.

The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance, harm to existing and future occupiers' living conditions, and potential harm to protected species attracted substantial weight and significantly and demonstrably outweighed the housing supply and other benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
