Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the quality of living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to garden space to flats 2 and 3
  • whether the proposed development would result in a suitable mix of housing types with particular regard to the size of the host dwelling
  • whether the proposal would include suitable energy and water efficiency measures

What decided it

The cumulative effect of harm to character and appearance, inadequate living conditions for future occupiers, failure to provide a suitable housing mix, and absence of energy and water efficiency measures together outweighed the modest housing supply benefits.
