Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers
Whether the access would be convenient and easy for people to move around on

What decided it

The significant harm to character and appearance combined with harm to living conditions of neighbours, when weighed against the modest contribution of a single dwelling to housing supply, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.

The adverse impacts (harm to character and appearance, harm to living conditions of neighbours) were afforded significant weight and were found to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the economic and social benefits of a single dwelling, notwithstanding the local planning authority's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
