Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area taking particular account of the effect on the Brighstone Conservation Area and the Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
- whether or not satisfactory living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling given the adjoining public house use and taking particular account of privacy and outlook
What decided it
The proposal accords with development plan policies and would not cause harmful effects on character, appearance, heritage assets, landscape or living conditions, with no material considerations to the contrary.
The concerns about retained parking and loss of informal access through the car park did not outweigh the benefits of delivering an additional dwelling on a previously developed site in a location with good access to services.
