Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Appeal B: the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area; and whether the proposed accommodation would provide adequate living accommodation for future occupiers with regard to internal space provision
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance of the surrounding area, combined with inadequate living conditions in Appeal B, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefit of providing one additional dwelling in an area with housing shortfall.
The adverse impacts of granting planning permission, comprising significant harm to character and appearance and (in Appeal B) living conditions, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of providing one dwelling in an area with housing shortfall, such that the proposals would not represent sustainable development.
