Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the adjacent locally listed building
- whether the proposed development would provide a satisfactory standard of internal accommodation and outdoor amenity space for future occupiers
- the effect of the proposed development on living conditions within neighbouring properties
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the locally listed building, combined with the unsatisfactory standard of internal accommodation, demonstrably outweighed the very modest benefits of providing a single dwelling in an area with housing land supply shortfall.
The adverse impacts of granting permission—harm to character and appearance, harm to the setting of the locally listed building, and unsatisfactory internal accommodation—significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery and potential self-build provision.
