Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, and future occupiers of the development, with respect to their outlook and privacy
What decided it
The substantial harm to character and appearance combined with unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited housing benefit, even under the tilted balance.
the adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and neighbouring amenity significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefit of providing one additional dwelling, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply
