Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether this would secure acceptable living conditions for future and neighbouring residential occupiers

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the unsatisfactory effects on residential living conditions substantially outweighed the small benefits of the proposal.

The small benefits of housing supply, lifetime home standards and local economic contribution were substantially outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and residential living conditions.
