Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for its occupiers, having regard to privacy and outdoor space
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the tandem backland layout and the inadequate living conditions for future occupiers, particularly regarding privacy and outdoor space, outweighed the limited benefits of providing a single dwelling even under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and to living conditions of future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing supply and economic contribution from a single dwelling, even with the development plan out of date.
