Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with regard to outside amenity space
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the unacceptable living conditions for future occupants, combined with the limited housing and economic benefits of a single dwelling, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and Framework with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify approval.
The adverse impacts of granting permission (significant harm to character and appearance and unacceptable living conditions) would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits (one additional dwelling in a sustainable location and modest short-term economic benefits), when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
