Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, arising from the cramped appearance and incongruous single-storey detached form conflicting with the established two-storey semi-detached and terraced pattern, outweighs the modest benefits of providing a single dwelling in a location with an undersupply of housing land.

The significant harm to character and appearance was given significant negative weight, which outweighed the limited positive weight given to the modest housing and self-build benefits, resulting in a conclusion that adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh benefits.
