Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the host building and the area
  • whether the development would provide suitable living conditions for the future occupiers of flat 2 with reference to internal space provision

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the host building and the High Street, caused by the incongruent double stepped mansard roof form, demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of the development even under the tilted balance.

The limited benefits of two new dwellings and small economic benefit were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the host building and the area, resulting in dismissal despite the tilted balance applying due to insufficient housing land supply.
