Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
- The living conditions of future occupiers
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance combined with unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing benefit, particularly given no clear evidence that the proposal would reduce Green Belt release.
The harm to character and appearance and living conditions of future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of 6 dwellings and minimal support to the local economy, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply
