Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of existing or future occupiers of the ground floor flat, having regard to internal space and outlook
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of future occupiers of the house, with respect to external private amenity space, internal space and outlook
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the area, including the significance of a non-designated heritage asset
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of both the ground floor flat and the new house through inadequate internal space and external private amenity space, conflicting with development plan policies LP26 and LP29, and this harm outweighed the moderate benefits of contributing one additional dwelling to housing supply.
