Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The quality of living conditions for existing and future occupiers with particular regard to garden space
- Whether the proposed development would include suitable sustainable drainage, energy and water efficiency measures
What decided it
The cumulative effect of harm to character and appearance, inadequate garden space for occupiers, and failure to demonstrate suitable sustainable drainage and energy efficiency measures outweighed the modest benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
