Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether it would make adequate provision for the storage of refuse and recycling
  • Whether it would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers
  • The effect on highway safety, including whether it would provide good access

What decided it

The cumulative harm to neighbouring living conditions, character and appearance, and failure to provide adequate refuse storage arrangements outweighed the benefits of delivering a single self-build house.

The significant benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision were outweighed by the great weight of cumulative harm to neighbouring living conditions, character and appearance, and inadequate refuse storage arrangements.
