Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the Area of Special Character
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
- whether the appeal site represents a suitable location for windfall development, having particular regard to relevant development plan policies
What decided it
The benefits of providing one small dwelling suitable for elderly and disabled persons do not outweigh the disbenefits of harm to character and appearance, harm to living conditions of future occupants, and poor accessibility to local services and facilities.
