Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of any potential future residents with regard to the provision of suitable external space
- the living conditions of existing neighbouring residents of 10A Loop Road, with regards to privacy, outlook and loss of light
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance combined with inadequate external amenity space for future residents significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited housing benefits, such that the tilted balance does not favour permission.
the harm to character and appearance of the area and potential future residents' living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of providing a single dwelling and addressing the Council's housing shortfall
