Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether there would be acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling

What decided it

The significant harm to character and appearance and the failure to provide acceptable living conditions, particularly the enclosed outlook, outweigh the limited benefits of delivering a single dwelling in an area with good access to services.

The limited benefits of delivering an additional dwelling and associated economic benefits are significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and failure to provide acceptable living conditions, such that the proposal does not benefit from the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
