Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to privacy, outlook and the provision of private outdoor amenity space
  • the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring properties, having particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, particularly regarding privacy, outlook and amenity space, which conflicts with the development plan and cannot be outweighed by the benefit of providing one small dwelling.
