Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the future occupants of the proposed development would have satisfactory living conditions having regard to the provision of outdoor space
- the effect of the proposed development on existing on-street parking provision
- whether the future occupants of the proposed development would have satisfactory living conditions having regard to internal space
What decided it
The adverse impacts on character and appearance, outdoor living space, and parking provision significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of a single additional dwelling, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
The adverse impacts on character and appearance, living conditions regarding outdoor space, and parking provision significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of providing one additional dwelling and efficient use of urban land, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
