Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of neighbouring residents/future occupiers
What decided it
The cramped, narrow plot layout and convoluted rear garden arrangement would cause harm to the character and appearance of the area and provide inadequate outdoor amenity space for future occupiers, conflicting with development plan policies that are consistent with the Framework.
Even if paragraph 11d of the Framework were engaged due to lack of five-year housing land supply, the adverse impacts of the proposal would significantly and demonstrably outweigh its benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
Framework references: 11, 12, 131, 219
