Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on 1) the character and appearance of the area; and 2) the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers by way of noise and disturbance, and privacy
What decided it
The significant adverse impacts to the character and appearance of the area and harm to residents' living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The limited social and economic benefits of one single storey dwelling to address housing shortfall were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant adverse impacts to character and appearance and harm to living conditions
