Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether it would provide acceptable living conditions for occupiers of the existing dwellinghouse
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate off-street parking
What decided it
The collective harm arising from poor living conditions for the existing house occupiers due to insufficient external amenity space and inadequate off-street parking outweighed the modest benefits of creating a single new dwelling.
The benefits of creating one new dwelling, sustainability, design quality and economic investment were outweighed by the harm from shortfall in external amenity space for the existing house and lack of adequate off-street parking.
