Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing house and surrounding area
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to parking
- Whether future occupants would be likely to experience acceptable living conditions in terms of amenity space provision
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance and highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of one additional dwelling and affordable housing contribution when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
