- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to light, privacy and outlook
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable conflict with development plan policies on character and appearance, when weighed against the limited housing and socio-economic benefits of a single dwelling, outweighs the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
The harm resulting from conflict with the development plan on character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of housing supply, efficient use of land, and limited socio-economic benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
