Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the supply of family housing in the Borough including whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for its occupants with particular regard to levels of internal space
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of the neighbouring dwelling at No 106 Cornworthy Road with particular regards to privacy
What decided it
The proposal would result in significant harm to the character and appearance of the area through its cramped layout, second front door, and bin storage arrangements, conflicting with the development plan taken as a whole with no material considerations to outweigh this.
The benefits of housing delivery and acceptable living conditions for future occupants were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area.
