Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the quality of living conditions for future occupants of the proposed dwelling
  • the effect of the proposal on the character of the area and the streetscene
  • the effect on the rear garden environment
  • the implications of the loss of car parking for the host dwelling

What decided it

The deficiencies in living conditions for future occupants, combined with harmful effects on character and streetscene, were not outweighed by the limited benefits of providing a single dwelling in a sustainable location.

the limited benefits of housing delivery and sustainable location were outweighed by deficiencies in living conditions, harmful effects on character and streetscene, and intrusion into the rear garden environment
