Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 8 Queensgate, having regard to outlook
- Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for recreation and amenity open space
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance caused by the dwelling's siting, scale and massing eroding the spaciousness of the area, combined with the failure to secure open space provision, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the extremely modest benefits of a single dwelling in an area with no five-year housing supply.
The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and failure to provide open space significantly and demonstrably outweigh the extremely modest benefits of housing delivery and efficient land use, when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole
