Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on biodiversity
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of numbers 37 and 39 Pendas Walk, with particular regard to outlook and daylight and sunlight
What decided it
The significant and enduring harm to character and appearance combined with adverse effects on biodiversity outweighed the provision of a single new dwelling, particularly as the development plan policies were not out of date and the Council could demonstrate a five-year housing supply.
The Framework's objective to significantly boost housing supply does not justify the significant and enduring harm to character and appearance and reduction in biodiversity value caused by a single dwelling, where the development plan is up to date and housing land supply is demonstrable.
