Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers of the development with particular regard to levels of internal and external space
What decided it
The combined harm to character and appearance and failure to provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
