Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the development with regard to noise and air quality

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area arising from the dwelling's incongruous backland siting and orientation, combined with substandard outdoor amenity space due to excessive noise exposure, outweighed the limited housing and economic benefits.

the limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling and economic benefits would not outweigh the harm to character and appearance and the substandard living conditions regarding noise in the private outdoor amenity space
