Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide an acceptable standard of accommodation for future occupants
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance combined with the failure to provide an acceptable standard of accommodation demonstrably outweighs the benefit of delivering an additional dwelling in circumstances of housing land supply shortfall.
The benefit of delivering an additional dwelling in an accessible location at a time of housing land supply shortfall was outweighed by the demonstrable harm to character and appearance and the unacceptable standard of accommodation for future occupants.
