Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposed dwelling on the living conditions of the occupants of 38 Shetcliffe Lane, with particular reference to outlook, and daylight
  • Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to the provision of private amenity space
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety

What decided it

The adverse impacts of visual harm to character and appearance, unacceptable living conditions for existing and future occupants, and unacceptable highway safety impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the very limited benefits of one dwelling in the context of paragraph 11(d)(ii) of the Framework.

The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance, living conditions of existing and future occupants, and highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweigh the very limited benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits, when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole.

Framework references: 11, 115, 135

Plan policies cited: Policy P1, Policy DS1, Policy DS3, Policy DS4, Policy DS5, Policy HO9
