Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling, with specific regard to amenity space

What decided it

The site's private location and lack of public visibility meant the smaller plot size and amenity space would not be appreciable or harmful, and the amenity space met standards and provided adequate living conditions for future occupiers.
