Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide a suitable living environment for future occupiers with regard to internal space and private amenity space
What decided it
The development conflicts with the development plan as a whole due to harmful impact on character and appearance and failure to provide suitable living environment with adequate private amenity space for the upper floor flat.
The limited housing benefits of one additional dwelling did not override the harm to character and appearance and the unsatisfactory living environment for future occupiers.
