Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of future occupants of the dwelling having regard to outlook and external amenity space
- the provision of parking
What decided it
The proposal would result in inappropriate development on residential garden land that would be too large for the plot, causing harm to character and appearance and the living conditions of future occupants that outweighed the benefits of additional housing delivery.
the benefits of additional housing in an accessible location and the provision of an electric car charger did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance and living conditions, particularly given the Council's demonstrated five-year housing land supply
