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 neighbouring occupiers of nos. 11 and 13 Quemerford, with respect to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the backland form of development being at odds with the prevailing linear pattern of development along Quemerford outweighed the modest benefits of providing one additional dwelling in a sustainable location.
The modest social and economic benefits of providing one additional dwelling in a sustainable location were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
