Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants of the proposed dwelling, with regard to privacy and light
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area, arising from the introduction of an incongruous building form and substantially smaller plots, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of one additional dwelling in a district with poor housing delivery.
The considerable weight attributed to harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate weight of housing supply benefit and limited social and economic benefits, applying the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
