Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • whether appropriate living conditions would be secured for the future occupiers of the development

What decided it

The proposed dwelling would conflict with the development plan by both harming the character and appearance of the surrounding area and failing to provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers, with no material considerations indicating the decision should be made otherwise.

The benefits of creating a small dwelling and adding to local housing supply did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance and the failure to secure appropriate living conditions for future occupiers.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
