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 occupants of the neighbouring property at 147 Burniston Road, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The unduly harmful effect on character and appearance caused by the scale, design features and prominent siting of the proposed development significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of housing supply contribution.
The benefits of housing supply contribution and efficient use of the site (moderate weight) and limited economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on character and appearance, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework did not apply.
