Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Living conditions of future residents with regards to internal space
- Parking and highway safety
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the obtrusive gable wall projecting beyond the established building line, combined with the failure to demonstrate adequate internal living space standards, outweighed the limited housing benefit even under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of significant harm to character and appearance and inadequate living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits including housing land supply when assessed against the Framework policies taken as a whole
