Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on the living conditions of the future occupiers of the unit together with those of the existing property at No. 123
- Whether the proposed dwelling would include adequate measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions
What decided it
The harmful impact on the character and appearance of the area combined with poor living conditions for future occupiers and unresolved sustainable energy requirements meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and national policy.
The harmful local impact on character and appearance, poor living conditions for future occupiers, and failure to demonstrate sustainable energy measures were not outweighed by the delivery of a small residential unit, and the proposal was found to conflict with the development plan and Framework when read as a whole.
