Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with specific regard to private outdoor space
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including nearby trees, the living conditions of the occupants of White Beams with specific regard to outlook, and the biodiversity of the appeal site
What decided it
The proposal would fail to provide adequate private outdoor space for future occupants, constituting significant harm that outweighed the limited housing benefits in the context of the tilted balance.
The limited benefits of providing one dwelling and contributing to housing supply were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm arising from inadequate private outdoor space for future occupants.
