Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be a suitable location for housing, having regard in particular to the character and appearance of the area
  • The effects of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring and future occupants
  • Whether the proposal would adequately provide for parking and highway safety

What decided it

The proposal would significantly harm the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of existing and future occupants, in conflict with the development plan, and these harms were not outweighed by the limited benefits of adding one dwelling to housing stock.
