Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the provision of family sized dwellings in the area
- the character and appearance of the host property, street scene and rear garden environment
- the living conditions of future occupiers, with regard to the provision of private amenity space and outlook
- the effect of the proposal on adjacent trees
What decided it
The adverse impacts on family housing provision, character and appearance, and living conditions of future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of housing supply and economic benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The modest benefits of housing supply and local economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on family housing provision, character and appearance of the street scene, and living conditions of future occupiers.
