Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers regarding outlook, privacy and natural light
- Whether it would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers regarding the provision of garden space
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed development would be overbearing to neighbouring occupiers and would fail to provide the minimum 50 square metres of usable private garden space required by policy, and these harms outweighed the benefit of adding one dwelling to housing supply.

- Development plan policies
- Policy 1.1Policy 1.2Policy 4.1Policy 7.4Policy 7BPolicy 7DPolicy D3Policy D6
