Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the Upperton Conservation area
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Upperton Conservation Area, when weighed against the limited public benefits of a single dwelling, was decisive in dismissing the appeal.
The limited public benefits of housing supply, construction employment, local business support, Council tax revenues and Community Infrastructure Levy contributions from a single dwelling did not outweigh the less than substantial harm to the conservation area and the failure to provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers
