Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character of the local area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 2 Aspen Close with regard to daylight and outlook
- whether the living conditions of the occupiers of the proposed dwelling would be of an acceptable standard with particular reference to the kitchen/dining area
What decided it
The detrimental effect on the character of the local area from the cramped form of development, combined with the poor outlook impacts on both the existing and proposed dwellings, outweighed the benefits of providing one additional dwelling in a context of housing land supply shortfall.
The adverse impacts on character and living conditions outweighed the benefits of providing one additional dwelling despite the council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
