Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the provision of internal space, layout and private amenity space
  • whether the proposal would make adequate provision for affordable housing
  • whether the proposal would provide adequate drainage
  • whether the proposal would provide adequate car parking, and cycle and refuse storage

What decided it

The significant harm to character and appearance combined with inadequate private amenity space and the absence of affordable housing provision outweighed the modest benefit of a single additional dwelling where the Council could demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.

the modest benefit of providing a single house did not outweigh the significant planning harm and conflict with the development plan
