Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the effect on trees
- the living conditions of the neighbouring property, 2 New Road, having regard to light and outlook
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area, including the loss of trees, and the unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, principally loss of outlook, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of the scheme when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
The adverse impacts of granting permission, principally the unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest short-term economic benefits and limited ongoing expenditure when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole.
