Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal site and the street scene
  • whether adequate private amenity space would be provided for the new dwelling
  • whether the proposal makes adequate provision towards the mitigation of likely significant effects on a protected European site

What decided it

The Inspector found in the appellants' favour on all three main issues, with the adequacy of the unilateral undertaking to secure the required RAMS contribution being the critical factor enabling the appeal to succeed.

No balancing exercise was undertaken as the Inspector found in the appellants' favour on all main issues and did not need to apply the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
