Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The adverse impacts on the character and appearance of the area, caused by the building's projection beyond the established building line and disruption of the regular spacing of dwellings, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of providing one additional dwelling in a situation of housing land supply shortfall.
The benefits of housing delivery, to which significant weight was attached, were outweighed by the adverse impacts on character and appearance; the provision of one additional unit would make little difference to housing supply and the adverse impacts would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the very modest benefits.
