Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character of the area
  • The effect on the living conditions of neighbours, having regard to noise
  • Whether the proposed dwelling would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupants, having regard to internal space

What decided it

The substantial benefits of housing delivery and sustainable location were substantially outweighed by the adverse effects on the character of the area and the unacceptable harmful impact on neighbours' living conditions from noise and disturbance.

The substantial benefits in respect of additional homes and sustainable location would be substantially outweighed by adverse effects in terms of living conditions and character; when assessed against the national decision-making policies of the Framework, in particular those which deal with well-designed places, there are reasons to refuse this proposal.
