Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on adjacent occupiers' living conditions, and whether future occupants of the proposed accommodation would experience appropriate living conditions
- Whether the proposal would increase the risk of flooding
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, combined with the inability to ensure appropriate living conditions for all existing and future occupiers, outweighed the modest housing supply and self-build benefits.
The modest contribution to housing supply and other benefits did not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance and the failure to ensure appropriate living conditions for all occupiers.
