Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to outside amenity space and internal living space
What decided it
The substantial and long-lasting harms to character and appearance and to living conditions, when weighed against the limited benefits of a single dwelling, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and unacceptable living conditions, given substantial weight, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing provision and construction-related economic benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
