Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers

What decided it

the limited benefits of delivering one new dwelling did not outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of the area
