Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on character and appearance of the area

- Whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupants with particular reference to outlook
- The effect of the proposed development on carbon emissions including sustainable drainage measures and water efficiency measures
What decided it
The clear and significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring and future occupants could not be outweighed by the moderate benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
