Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and the area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to cycle and waste storage
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable harm to character and appearance combined with failure to provide acceptable living conditions outweighs the modest housing benefit when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
The modest benefit of two additional dwellings contributing to housing supply was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and failure to demonstrate acceptable living conditions for future occupiers.
Framework references: 11
