Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate garden space
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The significant and long-lasting harm to the character and appearance of the area and the failure to provide adequate garden space substantially outweighed the modest benefit of providing a single dwelling, even applying the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11.
