Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with regard to outlook
  • Fire safety
  • Whether an affordable housing contribution is required to make the development acceptable in planning terms

What decided it

The proposed single storey dwelling would fail to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers due to inadequate separation distances and poor outlook, combined with unresolved fire safety access concerns and the absence of a planning obligation to secure required affordable housing contributions.

Plan policies cited: Policy DMP1, Policy BH4, Policy BH5, Policy D6, Policy D12
