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 satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with specific regard to outlook and daylight
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of 10 Scarf Road, with specific regard to outlook, sunlight and privacy
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area and the unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers, particularly the significantly restricted outlook, outweighed the limited housing benefits in circumstances where the Council cannot demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
The adverse impacts of the proposed development, comprising harm to character and appearance and unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling in an area with a housing land supply shortfall, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
