Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal demonstrates adequate surface water drainage arrangements
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupiers of plot 3, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance of the area, combined with inadequate drainage arrangements, demonstrably outweighed the minimal housing supply benefit, particularly given the failure to meet the Framework's requirements for well-designed places and flood risk prevention.
The adverse impacts from harm to character and appearance and lack of demonstrable drainage arrangements significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of three dwellings and economic benefits, even in an area of housing land supply under-supply.
