Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the site can be provided with a suitable access
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties with particular reference to the potential for noise and disturbance

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance arising from the incongruous siting of the dwelling divorced from the prevailing pattern of development, combined with the unsuitability of the long, narrow access, outweighed the limited housing and other benefits.

the limited benefits of one additional dwelling and minor security and economic benefits did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance and the unsuitability of the access
