Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to privacy
  • whether or not the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to privacy
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety
  • whether or not the proposal would provide a satisfactory means of drainage

What decided it

The design and layout of the proposed dwelling would be incompatible with the existing pattern of development and would cause considerable harm to the privacy of neighbouring residents and future occupiers.

The limited benefits of housing supply, economic benefits and sustainable construction were outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and the living conditions of neighbouring residents and future occupiers.
