Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area

- the effect of the proposed arrangements for refuse and recycling collection upon the living conditions of the occupiers of the proposed dwelling
What decided it
The adverse impacts of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
the significant harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of delivering a single accessible dwelling in a sustainable location with no 5-year housing land supply
