Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the effect on the adjacent footpath
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outdoor amenity space, outlook and internal space standards
- Whether the proposal would make sufficient provision for cycle storage, having regard to policy requirements
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, particularly the enclosure of the adjacent footpath, combined with the failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, outweighs the modest contribution to housing supply.
The modest benefits of 5 additional dwellings and efficient use of urban land are not sufficient to outweigh the significant harms to character and appearance, loss of greenery, and failure to provide satisfactory living conditions; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.
