Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether there would be acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the property with regard to outlook and privacy
- whether the proposed development would demonstrably mitigate its impact on climate change
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable harm to character and appearance, living conditions, and climate change mitigation outweighed the limited housing and economic benefits of a single dwelling when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance, unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers, and failure to mitigate climate change impact were afforded significant weight and significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of providing one market dwelling in a sustainable location with associated economic benefits.
