Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
  • Whether the development would provide a suitable standard of living conditions for future occupiers
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The poor quality of living conditions resulting from three basement bedrooms without adequate natural light and outlook attracted significant weight and demonstrably outweighed the moderate housing supply benefits.

The moderate benefits of providing one dwelling towards the Council's under-provision of housing were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to living conditions of future occupiers from inadequate natural light and outlook in three basement bedrooms.
