Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for energy efficiency and climate change
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for its future occupiers, with regard to internal space
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the building's forward positioning relative to the established building line, combined with the failure to adequately address energy efficiency and climate change requirements, outweighed the limited housing benefits of a single dwelling in the context of an undersupplied housing market.
The adverse impacts of granting permission, comprising significant harm to character and appearance and failure to provide adequate energy efficiency measures, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of providing a single additional dwelling to address the Council's housing land undersupply.
