Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers in terms of private and usable outdoor space and sense of place and arrival
  • Whether the proposed development would provide sufficient space for car parking

What decided it

The proposed development would fail to provide adequate private and useable outdoor space of at least 20 sq.m as required by BDDP Policy BP5, thereby providing unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers, which harm substantially outweighed the modest housing supply benefits.

The substantial harm from inadequate living conditions (specifically insufficient outdoor space) significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of providing a single additional dwelling and modest construction employment, such that the proposal did not represent sustainable development.
