Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of the intended future occupiers
- Whether the new dwelling incorporates sustainability measures in its design
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area by eroding the openness at the corner junction and would fail to provide adequate private outdoor space for future occupiers, conflicting with the development plan taken as a whole with no other considerations to outweigh this finding.
