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 create acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to outlook, sunlight levels and internal floor space
What decided it
The harmful effect on character and appearance combined with unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers outweighed the limited housing benefits of a single additional dwelling.
The benefits of housing supply and contribution to housing choice, together with economic benefits and the accessible location, attracted limited weight and did not outweigh the identified harm to character and appearance and living conditions.
