Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed dwelling would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants in regard to ceiling height
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupants of 8 Worcester Drive in regard to outlook, sunlight and daylight
What decided it
The harmful effect on character and appearance combined with the failure to meet minimum ceiling height requirements, which conflicts with the development plan and cannot be outweighed by the moderate housing benefits.
the adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and inadequate ceiling heights would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of housing land supply, economic and social benefits
