Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to outdoor amenity space provision
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, arising from the cramped and incongruous siting of the dwelling within a confined plot, substantially and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefits of delivering one additional dwelling.
The modest benefits of delivering one additional dwelling and limited economic benefits from construction and occupation were substantially and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area.
