Inspector: Couper C

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.
