Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupiers of the development in terms of access to outdoor space
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable harm to the character and appearance of the area and the failure to provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers outweigh the moderate housing supply benefit when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The adverse impacts of granting permission, comprising significant harm to character and appearance and unacceptable living conditions, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefit of a single new dwelling and limited economic benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
