Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
- whether the scheme would provide appropriate living conditions for the occupants of the proposed dwelling, with particular regard to its internal area
- whether the proposal would result in the loss of family housing
- whether the proposal would encourage sustainable modes of transport, with particular regard to cycle storage and off-street car parking
- the effect of the proposal on biodiversity and flood risk
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by converting a semi-detached pair into a short terrace, combined with the failure to meet minimum internal space standards for the proposed dwelling, outweighed the modest public benefits of providing a single additional dwelling.
