- Inspector
- Redford R
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, and the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (SPA)
- Whether the proposal would provide appropriate living conditions for future occupants with specific regard to internal space
What decided it
The adverse impacts on character and appearance, SPA integrity, and living conditions outweighed the limited housing benefit of a single dwelling.
The benefits of housing provision and economic/social benefits were outweighed by the adverse impacts of poor design, harm to the SPA, and inadequate living conditions for future occupants.
