Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the new dwelling with regard to private outdoor space
What decided it
The unacceptably harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area caused by the detached dwelling's stark contrast with the semi-detached character of the locality, combined with substandard private amenity space provision, could not be outweighed by the limited housing and economic benefits of a single dwelling.
The limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling and associated economic benefits in a sustainable location did not outweigh the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the substandard living conditions for future occupiers with regard to private outdoor space.
