Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants of the proposed dwelling, with regard to the size of internal living space and provision of parking

What decided it

The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and failure to provide acceptable living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of a single dwelling to housing supply when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
