Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Whether or not the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with regard to privacy
- Whether or not the proposal would result in satisfactory access, manoeuvring and parking provision
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through the loss of important spacing between Nos 130 and 132 significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision.
The moderate weight afforded to housing supply, self-build provision, and economic and social benefits was outweighed by the significant weight afforded to the unacceptable harm to character and appearance, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against Framework policies as a whole.
