Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether adequate living conditions would be provided for the occupants of the proposed dwelling, in respect of private external space
- Whether the proposal would provide measures to adapt to and manage climate change
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, inadequate living conditions from the poorly-shaped rear garden, and absence of climate change mitigation measures outweighed the limited housing benefits of a single dwelling under the tilted balance.
The limited social and economic benefits of a single dwelling were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance, poor living conditions for occupiers, and absence of climate change adaptation measures, assessed against the Framework as a whole under the tilted balance
