Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions for the occupants of both the existing and proposed dwellings, with respect to internal space and external garden area

What decided it

The harm resulting from inadequate living conditions for existing and future occupiers, combined with harm to character and appearance, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefit of providing one additional dwelling, even under the tilted balance.
