Inspector: Davies H

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to private amenity space
Whether adequate arrangements would be made for drainage of the site

What decided it

The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the dwelling's incongruous position breaking the established building line and the unacceptable living conditions arising from the lack of private amenity space.

The contribution to housing supply was given little weight due to the area's five-year housing land supply, and this modest benefit was outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the unacceptable living conditions regarding private amenity space.
