Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal is in a suitable location for housing, having particular regard to the development strategy for the area and its effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the cramped siting and plot size, which conflicts with the development plan and carries significant weight against the proposal, outweighs the moderate benefits of providing one additional dwelling and the appellant's personal circumstances.
