Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the living conditions of future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling in a context of housing land supply shortfall.
The limited benefits of housing delivery and construction employment were outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance and the living conditions of future occupiers, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the NPPF as a whole.
