Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed dwelling would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, having particular regard to private outdoor space
What decided it
The combined harm to character and appearance of the area and the provision of unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers outweighed the limited social and environmental benefits of the proposal.
The benefits of housing supply, affordable starter homes, reuse of previously developed land and economic benefits from construction were outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers.
