Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbours, with particular regard to loss of outlook
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions outweighed the limited housing supply benefits of a single dwelling when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The adverse impacts of granting permission (harm to character and appearance, loss of outlook to neighbours) significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits (provision of one dwelling, support for windfall sites, modest social and economic benefits) when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole, despite the Council's housing land supply falling below 5 years.
