Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to outlook, light and privacy
What decided it
The harmful effects on character and appearance and on neighbouring living conditions, particularly outlook and privacy, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the proposal when assessed against the Framework, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
The adverse impacts of granting planning permission (harm to character and appearance, and to neighbouring living conditions) would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits (efficient use of land and moderate energy efficiency gains) when assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development would not apply.
