Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
  • whether the proposal would provide adequate car parking
  • the effect of the proposal on the provision of affordable housing in the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The harmful effect on character and appearance, combined with inadequate parking provision and failure to secure affordable housing contribution, outweighed the benefit of providing a single additional dwelling.
