Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect on the living conditions of occupiers of No. 99 The Highway as regard outlook and privacy
- the adequacy of the living space and amenity area for occupiers of the proposed dwelling
What decided it
The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area and the unacceptable impact on the outlook and privacy of nearby residents could not be outweighed by the housing delivery benefits, even with the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
The benefits of housing delivery and the satisfactory provision of living and amenity space were outweighed by the identified harm to character and appearance and the unacceptable effect on neighbouring living conditions.
