Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The harmful effects on character and appearance and living conditions of neighbours, arising from the backland location and access arrangements, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing benefits of a single dwelling, even in the context of a housing land supply shortfall.
The limited housing benefits and economic benefits of a single dwelling were outweighed by the significant harms to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers; the adverse impacts of granting permission would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework policies taken as a whole.
