Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for existing and future occupiers
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of surrounding residents
What decided it
The combined harm to character and appearance, inadequate living conditions for future occupiers, and adverse impact on neighbouring residents' outlook significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of one additional housing unit.
The benefits of permitting the scheme to proceed were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts in terms of harm to character and appearance, lack of satisfactory living environment for future residents, and impact on living conditions of existing neighbours
