Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of existing properties
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would fail to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers due to inadequate privacy from neighbouring properties, combined with harmful effects on the character and appearance of the area.
The minor contribution to housing supply and the Framework's promotion of efficient use of land and windfall sites were outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and the failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers.
