Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development proposed on the living conditions of the future occupiers of the development, with particular regard to internal space and external amenity space
  • The supply of family housing
  • The effect of the development proposed on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to waste, light, noise and disturbance
  • The effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal would result in the loss of a larger family dwelling and would not provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to inadequate bedroom size and external amenity space, which harms outweighed the modest benefits of the scheme.

The benefits of providing an additional housing unit and economic benefits from construction and local spending were outweighed by the significant harm from loss of a larger family dwelling and unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers.
