Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of future occupiers of the dwelling having regard to external amenity space
What decided it
The material harm to character and appearance caused by the scale and massing of the house on an overly constrained plot, combined with inadequate external amenity space for future occupiers, outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery.
the modest benefits of housing delivery and meeting identified need for three-bedroom houses were outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance and living conditions of future occupiers
