Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of surrounding occupiers, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, particularly regarding outlook, outweighed the benefit of providing a single additional dwelling in an area with housing undersupply.
The benefit of adding a single dwelling to the local housing supply, which strongly weighs in favour, was outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, particularly regarding outlook.
