Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, caused by the tapered form, awkward roof design, and incursion into the open corner plot, outweighs the modest benefit of one additional housing unit in the context of housing land supply shortfall.
The modest housing benefit of one net additional unit in an undersupplied market was outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance, resulting in adverse impacts that significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits
