Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including its effect on nearby protected trees
- the effect of the proposed development on biodiversity and ecology
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to the provision of natural light and outlook
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with regard to privacy
What decided it
The adverse impacts arising from the development's effect on the character and appearance of the area, including its potential effect on protected trees, and potential effect on biodiversity and ecology significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate weight attributed to the housing benefits when assessed against the Framework policies as a whole.
The adverse impacts on character, appearance and biodiversity significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate weight afforded to the housing benefits and other sustainability considerations when assessed against the Framework policies as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
