Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the wider area
- The living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to outlook
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the Western Hillside character area and the adverse impact on neighbouring outlook, which substantially and demonstrably outweighed the minimal housing benefits, especially given the strong conformity of the relevant policies with the Framework's design requirements.
The adverse impacts of the proposed development, particularly the significant harm to character and appearance and outlook, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of one additional dwelling and limited economic support, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
