Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupants of no 52 Gordon Avenue, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- the health and longevity of trees
- the integrity of European sites, with particular regard to nutrient pollution and recreational impact
What decided it
The adverse impacts on character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours, and tree health significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing and sustainability benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The modest benefits of housing delivery and sustainable design were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harmful effects on character and appearance, living conditions, and tree health, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
