Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with reference to the siting of the proposal in the street scene
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to the provision of private amenity space
What decided it
The adverse impacts on character and appearance and the failure to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of delivering a single residential property.
The benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the failure to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants.
