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 the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to privacy, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area and create unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbouring occupiers, conflicting with the development plan as a whole with no material considerations to outweigh that conflict.

The limited social and economic benefits of a single dwelling did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance and the unacceptable impact on neighbouring living conditions from noise and disturbance.
